What is equity release?

Unlock cash from your home
Equity release is a financial product that allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access the value tied up in their property without having to sell it. It provides a way to unlock cash from your home, either as a lump sum, a regular income, or a combination of both, while still retaining the right to live in your home.

There are two main types of equity release, lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans.

With a lifetime mortgage, you borrow money against the value of your home, and the loan is repaid when the property is sold, usually after you pass away or move into long-term care.

Home reversion involves selling a share of your property to a provider in exchange for a cash payment, while you continue to live in the home rent-free. The majority of providers have stopped offering Home reversion schemes in favour of lifetime mortgages.

Equity release can be a useful option for those looking to supplement their retirement income, pay off debts, or fund significant expenses. However, it’s essential to consider the long-term implications, as it can reduce the value of your estate and the inheritance you leave behind.

Involving your family is suggested but not a requirement. The main reason we suggest involving the family is to discuss the implications on any potential inheritence.

Yes, you can use equity release if you have an existing mortgage, but there are some important factors to consider.

When you take out an equity release plan, any outstanding mortgage on your property must be repaid first. This is because equity release providers require their loan to be the first charge on your property. You can use the funds from your equity release plan to pay off your existing mortgage, and any remaining money can then be used as you wish.

Yes, with most equity release plans, such as a lifetime mortgage, you will still own your home. This is one of the key features that makes equity release appealing to many homeowners.

With a lifetime mortgage, you borrow money against the value of your property while retaining full ownership. The loan, plus any interest, is repaid when your home is sold, typically after you pass away or move into long-term care.

However, if you choose a home reversion plan, you sell a share (or all) of your property to the provider in exchange for a cash payment. In this case, you no longer fully own your home, though you retain the right to live there rent-free for the rest of your life or until you move into care.

The process of arranging an equity release mortgage typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from the initial consultation to receiving the funds. However, the exact timeframe can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as the complexity of your case or how quickly required documents are provided.

The process is not too disimilar to a conventional remortgage, however, a solicitor will need to arrange a face to face meeting with you (this is normal and is to ensure you know the plan details fully) so there may a slight delay for an appointment but that's the only real difference.

Yes, it could affect means-tested benefits such as Pension Credit. We evaluate your circumstances and clearly explain any potential impacts before suggesting a suitable plan.
