What is equity release.
“Equity” is the term used to describe the difference between the value of your home and any mortgage or loan secured upon it. Equity release provides and effective way to access the capital tied up in the value of your home to enable you to afford the life you want in retirement.
With an equity release scheme you:
- Must be between 55 and 90 years old at the start of the contraact.
- Can get access to a cash lump sum, regular income or both.
- Continue to live in your own home for as long as you wish
- Will remain responsible for maintaining & insuring your home.
Most homeowners have seen their property value increase over the last 5-10 years but they have been unable to unlock the cash tied up in their home - unless they have sold and moved to a smaller property. Equity release provides a great way to release this cash and use it to enhance your lifestyle in retirement. You can choose to have a lump sum or to have a monthly income or a combination of both. All this and there is no need to make a payment during your lifetime as the debt will be settled on death or if you move / go into long term care. It doesn't matter what the money is for; home improvements, holiday of a lifetime, new car, helping out the family or to clear expensive debts.
