Equity release

“I value being able to help my clients assess whether Equity Release is the best solution for them. It is important to me to clearly explain everything you need to consider and talk through all the options available to you, enabling you to make an informed decision.”
Vanessa, Equity Release Specialist

Equity release is a way of releasing the wealth tied up in your property without having to move home. You can borrow against the value of your home in exchange for a tax-free lump sum with no monthly repayments. You retain full ownership of your home.  If you are 55 or older and own your own home you could be eligible for a lifetime mortgage.

A Lifetime Mortgage is a type of mortgage where you can choose to extract your funds in a single lump sum and/or smaller amounts over time. The loan and the accrued interest can be repaid at any time but must be repaid by your estate when the last person living in your home either dies or move to permanent long-term care.

The amount that can be released is dependent on your age and the value of your property.

A lifetime mortgage will be secured against your home. Think carefully before securing a loan against your property. To understand the features and risks, please ask for a personalised illustration. We do not give advice on Home Reversion plans.
