About Annuity Ready

Written by the company

Annuity Ready is a lifetime annuity comparison service. We can help you compare quotes if you:

  • Live in the UK.
  • Are aged between 55 and 84 years 9 months.
  • Have a pension fund of over £2,000, after any tax-free lump sum has been taken.

Enter your information once and we’ll search the whole open market to see if we can find you a higher income than your current pension provider.

We give you the convenience of shopping around in one place, without the need to complete multiple forms or make lots of phone calls.

We base our comparisons on up-to-date data provided directly by the annuity providers we work with and personalised to you.

We can also help you find out if you can get an even higher income with an enhanced annuity. Plus, you can complete your chosen annuity provider’s application online for most providers.

Exceptional service

As the other reviewers said, the service I received from Annuity Ready was exceptional. The quote that they gave me for my annuity (which was actioned by the company) was considerably more than the quotes I had received from similar companies. The customer service was superb and they made sure that I was kept updated throughout the whole process.

A couple of the other 'annuity comparison' companies were very derogatory about Annuity Ready, saying that they could not provide such a good quote because they were a small company. They may be a small company but seem to be all the better for that. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Efficient and painless

Annuity Ready made the whole process painless and quick, communicating online and via telephone where needed. IThey obtained several quotes, and the annuity I finally received was very similar to that quoted on the MoneyHelper website, and so without excessive commission. It just worked.

I have to say the service they offered…

I have to say the service they offered was exceptional, they kept me in the loop through the whole process. The team are friendly, courteous and very understanding. I was dreading the whole process but they explained everything to me in plain English with no jargon. I am so pleased that L&G passed me over to Annuity Ready, they gave me the best deal / plan for my circumstances. Highly recommended. Thank you to the AR team!
