BSc (Hons), CeMAP, CeRER Later Life Lending SpecialistWhat is equity release?
Equity release is the act of borrowing against your home to free up a portion of the wealth held in your property and it is one of the financial solutions that may be available to homeowners over 55. The money is usually released in the form of a tax-free cash lump sum, which you are entitled to spend however you wish.
With equity release, you could:- Make home improvements
- Clear an existing mortgage
- Gift an early inheritance
- Fund care needs
- Supplement your retirement income
What is a Lifetime Mortgage?
A Lifetime Mortgage is the UK's most popular equity release product. Much like a typical mortgage, it involves taking out a loan against the value of your home. However, with a Lifetime Mortgage, there are no required monthly payments. Instead, you will have the option to make voluntary interest payments and partial repayments to reduce the total amount of your loan, subject to the requirements of your lender. I will work with you to determine whether you will be able to make these repayments and we can then decide on a solution that's right for you.
How can I support you?
As your local equity release adviser, it's my job to find out more about your circumstances and to help you make the right decision for you. If you choose to proceed with an appointment, I will help you to review your current financial position. Together, we can consider all of the available options that could help you to achieve your goals, and I'll explain how each solution will impact your family and property wealth. My role is as an adviser and never a salesperson. I will never make a recommendation that isn't right for you.
The free online equity release calculator on this page will show you an estimate of how much you could release from your home with a Lifetime Mortgage.
