Unlock money from your home for a more comfortable retirement


Equity release is typically available to people who are over the age of 55 and have their own home with a significant amount of equity, but don’t have enough money or income for their needs. By releasing equity in the form of a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan, it enables the individual(s) to remain in their home and raise money to help:


  • generate a capital lump sum
  • provide an additional income
  • provide lifetime gifts to relatives
  • facilitate home improvements
  • purchase a holiday home
  • to fund long term care


Where equity release is a suitable solution and you take out a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan, the money does not usually need to be paid back or the home sold, until the last remaining borrower dies or moves into care. Although this may not be the case, for example if you make repayments to preserve as much of the inheritable estate as possible. 

Are you looking to remortgage?

Is equity release right for me?


Whilst there are benefits for people in this situation, equity release isn’t for everyone and the benefits need to be weighed up alongside drawbacks. For example, equity release can:


  • be expensive 
  • impact on you being able to claim certain state benefits and your personal tax position
  • impact on local authority grants / other grants (i.e. for essential home improvements)
  • potentially erode any inheritance passed down to loved ones


Also, there may be alternative options available to you that you may wish to explore before taking the equity release route. For example, you could consider a conventional mortgage as an alternative. You could also move to a smaller home, use any savings or investments, sell the home and move into rented accommodation, or live with children or other relatives. 


Don’t worry as we can help you understand all the features and drawbacks so you can make a fully informed decision.
