Equity release, often known as a lifetime mortgage, allows homeowners to unlock tax-free money from their property while continuing to live there. This can be done by borrowing against the value of your home or selling a portion of it in exchange for a lump sum or regular payments. Many plans also offer the flexibility to access additional funds later on.
To be eligible, you must be at least 55 years old and own your home outright or with a mortgage (which will need to be cleared using the released funds).Yes, it is. As a fully regulated mortgage broker, we are authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring that you receive clear, professional, and ethical advice.
If you choose a lifetime mortgage, you’ll never owe more than the value of your home when it’s sold, provided it is sold at the best available market price. This means your estate won’t be left with any extra debt.The money is yours to use however you wish. Many people put it towards home improvements, pay off existing debts, help family members financially, or simply enjoy a more comfortable retirement.
Here are a few of the most common reasons people choose equity release.
