What is Equity Release?

Equity release is a way of releasing the wealth that may be tied up in your home. It can provide you with a tax free cash lump sum without the need to move from your home. Equity release products, allow you to either borrow against the value of your home or sell all or part of it for a regular monthly income, a lump sum, or the facility to get at equity as and when you like, or a combination of these options. Equity release products are usually available to you if you are aged 55 or over and are a homeowner.

Equity release is not necessarily suitable for everyone, as equity release specialists we are qualified to advise you on these products before you make a decision. It's a good idea to involve your family in the decision-making process because releasing money from the home will affect the amount that you will be able to leave in inheritance.

 

What types of equity release are there?

There are two main types of equity release plan on the market, Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans, both are regulated by the FCA – Financial Conduct Authority.

Can I release equity from my home if I have not yet paid off my mortgage?

If you still have an outstanding mortgage on your property you will need to pay it off in full, either by using some of the proceeds from the equity you release or from other funds. Once that is done, the rest of the money you release can be spent as you wish.
