Equity release is borrowing against your home to free up a portion of the wealth held in your property. The money is usually released in the form of a tax-free cash lump sum and it is one of the financial solutions that may be available to homeowners over 55.

With equity release, you could:
  • Make home improvements.
  • Clear an existing mortgage.
  • Supplement your retirement income.
  • Gift an early inheritance.
  • Fund a major purchase or dream holiday.
  • Fund care needs.

If you would like to commit to required monthly payments, then it could be the case that traditional or Retirement Interest-Only Mortgages could suit your personal circumstances.

In contrast to Lifetime Mortgages, with these mortgages you do have to pass affordability and credit checks as these mortgages all come with required monthly payments. At Responsible Life we have access to a wide variety of products, including from major lenders such as those listed below.

Whilst we can give you indicative figures of how much you could release with a Lifetime Mortgage, to assess your options for traditional, Retirement and Retirement Interest-Only Mortgages we’d require more information. This is because these mortgages consider your income, what you could afford and what type of income you are in receipt of.

To confirm what products you may be eligible for, get in touch with me and book in for your no-obligation advice consultation. There is no upfront cost to meet with me and talk through your options

At Responsible Equity Release, we understand that considering borrowing in later life is a significant decision, and it’s important to know what the process entails. Here, we have detailed the steps that will see you through your journey with us.

How much does all this cost?

There are a few different costs associated with borrowing, from interest charges to surveyors and solicitors’ fees.

If you choose to proceed and only when your case is completed, will you be charged an advice fee. I will discuss all of the costs associated with my recommendation before you make any decision to proceed.

This means you can explore your options without any upfront charges, and a fee not exceeding £1,690 will only be applicable if you decide to move forward and you actually release equity.

My promise to you

As a fully qualified and highly experienced later-life lending specialist I make the following commitments to you:
  • I will ensure you receive the best advice I can offer based entirely on your personal circumstances.
  • I will conduct business with utmost good faith and integrity, treating you with dignity and respect.
  • I will maintain your confidentiality at all times.
  • I will communicate in plain English, avoiding financial jargon and provide transparent details of charges to ensure your understanding.
