The Truth About Equity Release

The first Equity Release product, called ‘Home Reversion’, had some faults.
This attracted a bad name for the whole sector. However, the newer form of Equity Release, called
 ‘Lifetime Mortgage’ is much better. It is fairer on the customer and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This product is designed to help you make the most of your equity whilst still enjoying your home.

Your lender will not own your home. You will just owe them the money you borrow
plus some interest. You can pay the interest off monthly, but most people let it roll up on
 top of the loan. This means you won’t have to pay any of the loan back whilst you’re alive. Your lender
will only take what they are owed once you pass away and your home is sold. 

How does it work?

You have to be 55 or over to apply for Equity Release. If you are younger then 55, you can still release equity from your property through a remortgage

If you own equity in your property, Equity Release can help you access it as cash. You can release up to 60% of your equity, either as a lump sum or as monthly income. You can carry on living in your home forever. You can also move the deal to a new property, or even use your equity to buy a more expensive home.

You won’t have to pay monthly repayments if you don’t want to. All the interest can be added onto the loan and the lender only receives it once you’ve passed away.

You’ll never be in negative equity. This means you’ll never owe the lender more than your property is worth, and they can never force you to leave.

What can you do with Equity Release?

Aside from using the money to enjoy life, there are plenty of other reasons you might want to use Equity Release.

Help your children

Helping your children financially can be very rewarding, but only when you’re alive to see it! With Equity Release, you can give some of your children’s inheritance to them before you die.

You could help them buy their first home, a new car, fund their wedding, or pay for further education.

Pay off your mortgage and debts

Still paying off your mortgage or worrying about debts can be stressful. This should be a time to relax and enjoy life. You can use Equity Release to pay off your mortgage and debts, so you can be free to enjoy your money.

Buy a second home or Buy To Let

You can use Equity Release to help you buy a second home or invest in a Buy To Let property. If you choose to rent out your new property, you could use some of the income to cover the interest on your Equity Release. This way the remaining equity in your home won’t reduce. There may also be some money left over to top up your pension, and you’ll own an investment property to pass on to your children. There are plenty of other options, and we can help you decide what’s best for you.

Move house

You may want to move closer to family or friends but the new property seems too expensive. You can use Equity Release to make up the extra money you need to buy that dream home.
