How do equity release schemes work?

Equity release unlocks the wealth in your home to help you strengthen your financial position and use your tax-free cash how you wish. This could be to make home improvements, pay off existing debt, go on holiday, help friends and family, or help with regular bills so you can enjoy a more comfortable retirement. The equity in your home is the difference between the value of your property less any mortgage you still have. Equity release allows you to take some of that value and in most cases, you will not be required to make any regular payments, unlike a normal mortgage. See our equity release myth buster to dispel myths around over 55 home loans.

You must be over 55 years of age and the amount of money you can release depends on a number of factors – see our equity release calculator to estimate how much you could raise.

Lifetime mortgages and help with retirement mortgages in East Molesey

A lifetime mortgage is the most popular form of equity release (as opposed to home reversion plans). A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home that is typically repaid when you pass away or go into long-term care. You retain full ownership of your property and there are not usually any repayments to make.

We will always:

  • Help you consider the most appropriate way to generate cash or income. We also can look at other financial products, such as residential mortgages.
  • Highlight the costs and risks involved in any equity release plan.
  • Show you how the value of your estate will decrease which can be beneficial with IHT planning.
  • Talk about the implications for your family.

    Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about equity release.

    With a lifetime mortgage – the most popular type of equity release plan – you will always remain the owner of your property. A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home.

    To be eligible for equity release you must fall into a handful of criteria. These include: You must be over 55; you must be a homeowner and own property in the UK; and your property must be worth a minimum of £70,000. The minimum age and property value will vary between product providers.

    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.

    Releasing equity from your home will not affect your state pension, but could affect other means-tested benefits that you may receive in retirement, including pension credits, council tax benefits, and savings credit.

    Equity release is based on your property and age and as long as you meet the eligibility criteria, your credit history will not affect your ability to take out an equity release plan.

    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.
