Understanding Equity Release

Equity release allows you to access the equity tied up in your home, which is the difference between its market value and any outstanding mortgage or loans secured against it. There are various equity release plans available, but the two primary options are Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion plans.

• Lifetime Mortgages: With a Lifetime Mortgage, you take out a loan secured against your property, and the borrowed amount, plus interest, is repaid when you pass away or move into long-term care. The interest can be rolled up, meaning it is added to the loan balance over time, or you may choose to make regular interest payments.
• Home Reversion: Home Reversion involves selling all or a portion of your property to an equity release provider in exchange for a lump sum or regular payments. You retain the right to live in your home until you pass away or move into long-term care.

We no longer offer home reversion plans due to their declining popularity over time, and the increasing appeal of lifetime mortgage plans. Unlike home reversion plans, where you don’t retain ownership of your property, our lifetime mortgage plans provide a different approach. If you’re unsure about which plan is the right fit for you, our knowledgeable advisors are here to provide you with the guidance you need. Contact them today!

Factors Affecting the Amount You Can Release:

The amount of money you could release through equity release depends on several factors, including:

• Age: Generally, the older you are, the more money you can release, as the lender anticipates a shorter repayment period.
• Property Value: The higher the value of your property, the more equity you can access through equity release.
• Health and Lifestyle: Certain health conditions or lifestyle choices may enable you to access more funds through enhanced or impaired life plans.
• Type of Equity Release Plan: The specific type of equity release plan you choose will also affect the amount you can release. Lump-sum plans typically offer a higher release amount, while drawdown options provide flexibility but may release funds in smaller amounts.
