Equity Release

Enjoy the retirement you deserve

After a life of working and possibly raising a family, you have probably looked forward to enjoying your retirement.  If however, you now find that you could do with more money to fulfill your dreams or help your family, equity release could be the answer.

What is equity release?

Equity release is a term used to describe a variety of ways in which you can safely unlock some of the equity which is tied up in your home to provide you with either a lump sum or extra income without the need for you to move or even make monthly repayments unless you want to.

The money realised can be used for whatever you want. 

To find out more about what equity release is, visit equity release schemes.

Could you benefit from equity release?

Providing you are a homeowner with little or no mortgage and you and any joint owner are over 55, you are well on your way to qualifying for equity release.

How much equity you could release will depend on how old you are; the value of your property and the type of equity release scheme you choose.  If you would like to receive an indication of how much you could release under a lifetime mortgage scheme, enter your details in our online equity release calculator and we will give you an immediate indication.

Should you like to investigate what a home reversion plan could offer or have an unusual property, please call us on FREEPHONE 0800 970 4883.
