Equity release is an agreement between a homeowner (55+) and a provider that allows the homeowner to unlock the money tied up in their home.This money is tax-free and helps the homeowner to enjoy the retirement that they have worked hard for.

If you take out equity release you are still able to carry on living in your home for as long as you like.For many, their home is their greatest asset. Equity release schemes can turn this asset into extra cash at a time when income may be fixed and low.

1) Retirement can be a time of fixed income and many people have valuable homes but little spare cash. Equity release can provide tax-free cash to help alleviate this problem.

2) You can use the cash you release to spend as you wish.

3) You may want to use the money to take that holiday youve always dreamed of, perhaps visiting family that you havent seen for years.

4) You might want to buy a new, more reliable car to help you get around. You could even use the extra funds to help support your family, children or grandchildren.

5) Many people simply use the money they release to make up the shortfall some people experience when they retire.

6) Equity release could affect your entitlement to some state benefits and may affect your tax position.

7) All equity release plans will reduce the value of your estate.
