What is Equity Release?

Equity Release is a lifetime mortgage for the over 55’s and it enables you to unlock wealth from your property, without having to sell your home. Equity can be released as a lump sum, or as a monthly income. There are also some lifetime mortgages which give you the option to “drawdown” further equity at a later date.

What is Equity Release used for?

Equity Release can be used for multiple purposes, typically to live throughout retirement comfortably. Equity is released to pay for home improvements, at-home care, repayment of interest-only mortgages, gifting to family members, purchasing second homes and ticking experiences off a bucket list.
