What Is Equity Release?

Equity release is a way for homeowners aged 55 and over to unlock money from their property. The most common form of equity release is a lifetime mortgage.

With a lifetime mortgage, you remain the owner of your home. The loan, plus interest, is usually repaid when the last remaining borrower dies or moves into long-term care.

How Much Equity Could You Release?

The amount you may be able to release depends on your age, property value, existing mortgage balance, property type, health, lifestyle and lender criteria.

Is Equity Release Right for Everyone?

No. Equity release can help some homeowners, but it is not suitable for everyone.

It may reduce the value of your estate, affect inheritance planning and could affect entitlement to means-tested benefits. Alternatives such as downsizing, using savings, family support or other forms of borrowing should also be considered.
