What Is Equity Release and How Does It Work?
Equity release allows homeowners aged 55 and over to unlock some of the value tied up in their property while continuing to live there. The most common form of equity release is a lifetime mortgage, which provides a lump sum or smaller withdrawals that are usually tax free.
Many homeowners in West Yorkshire consider equity release to:
Supplement retirement income
Pay off an existing mortgage
Fund home improvements or adaptations
Help children or grandchildren financially
Improve overall quality of life in retirement
With modern lifetime mortgage products, there may also be options for voluntary repayments and inheritance protection, depending on suitability.
