How does it work

Equity Release

What is equity release?

Equity release is a financial instrument that allows you to extract cash out of your property. The most popular type of Equity release is a lifetime mortgage, which is a loan secured against your home. It’s only available to people aged over 55 years. The loan is paid back upon completion of the plan, typically when the last remaining applicant dies or moves into long term care.

All companies selling equity release have to be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our partners are also part of the Equity Release Council, meaning any equity release product you may wish to take out, has the benefit of being backed by the negative equity release guarantee.

The most common forms of equity release are:

• Lifetime mortgage
• Home reversion plans

Equity Release key benefits

Tax-free cash to spend in a variety of ways

You can choose how you spend your money in a variety of ways and you won’t be taxed on the funds withdrawn from the properties equity. You can use this money to pay for care, fund holidays, gift family members or make home improvements.

No Negative equity guarantee

Equity release plans that meet the standards of the Equity Release Council (ERC) will be covered. Therefore, you’ll have a no negative equity guarantee. Meaning you’ll never pay more than what your property is worth when the plan ends.

Retain property ownership

With a lifetime mortgage, you retain ownership of the property. Whilst with a home reversion plan, you sell a percentage of your property and lose ownership of it, instead becoming a beneficial owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still, have some questions regarding equity release? Hopefully, we cover them in our FAQs, if not an advisor will be more than happy to answer any other questions you may have.

How much equity can I release from my property?

This depends on a number of factors such as age, the value of your property and other factors which the lender will likely take into consideration. The max amount that lenders will likely consider lending is 60% of the total value of the property

Can I still leave an inheritance with equity release?

An equity release product will reduce the amount of inheritance you can pass on. Some plans will let you ring-fence a percentage of your homes future value to guarantee you can pass on some inheritance, but this will reduce the amount you can borrow.

Can I still take out an equity release plan if I have an existing mortgage?

Yes, and this is often cited as a top reason that borrowers take out an equity release product. However, the lender would expect you to pay off the mortgage with the money released or savings upon completion.
