The international broker specialises in working with wealthy individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs.

It has been providing equity release advice for many years.

The Equity Release Council was formed in 2012 and aims to promote high standards of conduct and to safeguard customers.

It also aims to grow the sector by promoting the role of housing wealth in meeting the financial needs of home owners in later life.

Enness Global chief executive Islay Robinson says “We have witnessed the UK equity release market evolve significantly in recent years, driven primarily by changes in lender appetite, continuing rises in property prices and longer life expectancies.

“We welcome the opportunity to become active members of the Equity Release Council reflecting our commitment to delivering the highest standards of care for our high-net-worth clients, while continuing to help them with their wider wealth needs, including accessing the property wealth they have accumulated in their property portfolios.”
