What is equity release?

Equity release is a great way of freeing up cash (equity) from your home, without having to sell or move, through a range of products created for those who are 55 and over.

Equity release unlocks the value of your property, providing you with either a tax-free cash lump sum, or as a regular income stream. While different plans have varying structures, repayment typically occurs upon the homeowner's passing or transition to long-term care.

We are working with Gilroy Steel, who will help you chose the best option for your circumstances, and guide you through the equity release journey.

There are two main types of equity release products you can choose from:

  • Lifetime mortgages

    These are the most common option and works similarly to a standard mortgage.

  • Home reversion plan

    This allows you to sell part, or all of your home to a reversion company in return for a lump sum or regular payments.

Equity release eligibility

To be eligible for equity release, you should:

a couple at home discussing their equity release options
  • Be over the age of 55 for a lifetime mortgage, or over 60 for a home revision plan.

  • Own a property in the UK, with your main residence valued over £70,000.

  • Have little to no mortgage left. If you do still have a mortgage, or other loan, secured against your home you may still be able to equity release, it will just depend on the value of your home and the amount you owe.
