What is an Equity Release?

An equity release mortgage is a financial product designed to help homeowners, typically aged 55 or older, access some of the value or equity tied up in their property without having to sell their home. It allows them to release a lump sum of money or receive regular payments, effectively turning a portion of the home’s value into cash while continuing to live in the property.

Here's how they work...

Types of Equity Release:

Lifetime Mortgage: The most common form of equity release, where you take out a loan secured against your home, but you don’t need to make regular repayments. The interest is typically added to the loan, which is repaid when you pass away or move into long-term care.

Home Reversion Plan: In this less common option, you sell a portion or all of your home to a provider in exchange for a lump sum or regular payments. You can continue to live in the property until you pass away or move into care.

A-Z of Equity Release

Release of Funds: The funds from the equity release can be used for various purposes, such as supplementing retirement income, making home improvements, covering healthcare expenses, or helping family members financially.

Interest Accumulation: With a lifetime mortgage, interest accumulates over time and is typically repaid when the property is sold, usually upon the homeowner’s death or move to long-term care. The final amount repaid includes the initial sum borrowed and the accrued interest.

Impact on Inheritance: It’s essential to consider that equity release mortgages can reduce the value of your estate and the inheritance you leave to your beneficiaries.

Equity release can be a way for older homeowners to unlock the value in their property to enhance their retirement lifestyle or meet specific financial needs.

However, it’s a complex financial product with various factors to consider, including interest rates, potential impacts on state benefits, and legal and financial advice.

It’s highly recommended that individuals seeking equity release obtain professional advice to make informed decisions.

I reached out to Chris on facebook after i stumbled on one of his reels, i wasn't expecting anything positive from Facebook as i had been previously turned down by two major Mortgage Advisers. Natalie and Shirley took up my case and in a short while got me a high street lender despite the price of the property been raised by 20%. They carried me along all through the process and i was never left in the dark. I am a single parent , first time buyer and first time landlord. They also helped me get the right Legal Advisers and Insurance. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Natalie and Shirley. BR Gina

We always thought buying our first house would be stressful, when we found this company through a few Facebook videos we thought we would enquire. Rhiannon got in touch with us and she talked us through the whole process and sorted so much for us! I would not recommend anyone else she has been amazing and we can’t thank her enough.
