Owning a home will have taken a lifetime to achieve, so it is essential that we give you the attention this decision deserves. Equity release enables homeowners to raise capital from their homes and there are different ways of achieving this. These schemes can be called lifetime mortgages and home reversion schemes and the most popular type of plan is a lifetime mortgage.
A lifetime mortgage allows you to take out a loan, secured against your home. You can receive the money either in one lump sum or use a drawdown facility. The interest can be allowed to roll up and added to the cost of the loan or it can be paid monthly, as you prefer. The loan is then repaid after your property has been sold when you die or go into long term care.
We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and are members of the Equity Release Council. We were awarded the ‘Best Equity Release Adviser 2019’ by Moneyfacts last year and are proud of our reputation for excellence.

Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about equity release in Buckinghamshire.
Yes, an interest-only lifetime mortgage allows you to make monthly repayments. As long as you keep up with these payments, the amount you owe will never increase. Unlike conventional mortgages, the interest rate for lifetime mortgages can be fixed for life.
No, not if you do not want to. With a lifetime mortgage, there are typically no monthly repayments to make as the loan, plus rolled-up interest, is repaid when the plan comes to an end. This is usually when the mortgage holder passes away or moves in to full time care. If there are two mortgage holders then this happens when both have passed away of moved into care.
