What is Equity Release?

Equity release, or later life lending, allows individuals aged 55 and over to release money from the property they live in without having to make any monthly repayments.

Equity Release Explained

There are two types of equity release: Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion plans. Both of these are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. By using an equity release product, a home owner can draw a lump sum or regular smaller sums from the value of their property, while remaining in their home. 
 
Equity Release can play a crucial role in retirement funding, and the flexibility and safeguards which are built into plans that comply with the Equity Release Council product standards enables thousands of home owners every year to safely tap into their housing wealth without having to worry about making monthly repayments. 

This is a lifetime mortgage. To understand the features and risks, please ask for a personalised illustration. Check that this mortgage will meet your needs if you want to move or sell your home or you want your family to inherit it. If you are in any doubt, seek independent advice.
