Equity Release
Are you 55 or over and looking for means to help your family or fund your living costs? Equity release could be a viable solution for you; however it’s important to fully understand and plan for possible implications of equity release.
Our advisers can guide you on how extracting money from your home could impact your finances to help you make an informed decision.
Equity Release
If you’re 55 or over and a homeowner, you may be considering equity release to access some of the money tied up in your home. Put simply, the equity in your home is the difference between the market value of your property, and your outstanding mortgage or debts on it.
Many people find that when they reach retirement age, they have a lower income than they would like. Equity release allows you to access this money in one lump sum or several small payments, so whether you want to make home improvements, provide financial support to your family, or just need to supplement your retirement income, you can do so while continuing to live in your home.
A lifetime mortgage is the most popular type of equity release scheme, where money secured against your home is borrowed at a fixed or capped interest rate. Instead of making monthly repayments, the loan is paid back with interest when the property is sold. The sum of money that you can borrow is typically dependent on your age and the value of your home.
Although equity release can be beneficial to many people, it’s essential that you are fully informed about the impact that it will have on you and your loved ones.
