Why release equity in London? An overview of the property market

London has always been a very safe bet for a property investment. If you bought your London property some time ago, the chances are you will have seen its price rocket over time. Whilst the property market has seen its ups and downs, it is widely accepted that property is one of the safest and most lucrative places to invest your money. London has seen huge price growth over time as demand has outstripped supply, with all types of properties seeing growth from flats and maisonettes in the London suburbs to large, detached homes in West London. All these properties will have likely increased hugely in value.

According to ONS (Office of National Statistics), in 2020, London’s average house price increased by 4.7 per cent over the year to March 2020, the largest 12-month growth the capital has seen in recent years. And according to Halifax in September 2020, the average first home in London had almost doubled in price in ten years to hit £464,000. London house prices are also predicted to increase further and outperform other cities in the UK.

If you are based in London and are thinking about releasing equity or whether equity release is the right option for you, please call our advisers. We would be delighted to visit you and discuss your options further. All our initial consultations are completely free of charge, with no obligation to you.

Why is equity release in London the right choice for some people?

An equity release plan means that people aged over 55 can access some tax-free money tied to their home without having to move out. The money can be given all at once in a lump sum, or you may want to choose to release funds as and when you need them, known as a Reserve or Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage.

If you are considering releasing equity, you will probably have a clear idea about how you would use the money. Here are just some of the reasons why people choose to release equity:

  • Clear existing debt: If you are struggling to repay loans or other debt, equity release may be an option.
  • Repay an existing interest only mortgage.
  • Trips of a lifetime: You may want to organise a holiday or a lifetime or travel more without having to worry about your finances.
  • Home improvements: Whether you want to replace a kitchen or future-proof your property with a refurbishment, equity release can help with this.
  • Payment of regular bills: Some people find that money is a bit tighter during retirement and they want to take more financial control.
  • Help family and friends: Many people want to help their children get on the property ladder or help pay for their grandchildren’s education and this can be a way to do this.

    What are London lifetime mortgages?

    There are a number of equity release products, which are sometimes called over 55 home loans, later life mortgages, and retirement mortgages. With a lifetime mortgage, you can take a loan out, which is secured against your home and does not need to be repaid until you die or go into long-term care. Use our online equity release calculator to estimate how much you could raise.

    At Access Equity Release we are proud of our excellent standards in customer service and quality advice. Here is just one example from a client who valued our open and thorough advice process before she decided to go ahead.

    Lifetime Mortgage

    “Fifteen months ago, I investigated a lifetime mortgage. My advisor was brilliant but I decided the time wasn’t right for me to go ahead. So when I revisited the idea in November last year, I decided not to shop around but go back to the man I felt I could trust. And I wasn’t disappointed.

    Knowledgeable, straightforward, reassuring and incredibly patient (I must have asked him the same questions a hundred times) he guided me through the process paying real attention to detail.

    My hand was held throughout. He never failed to return a phone call and would call regularly himself just to check that things were going smoothly and I was okay with everything.

    The mortgage has been completed and I am able to proceed with the outside refurbishment of my house as well as pay off my debts. At last I can use my pension for living, and even saving, rather than simply furnishing debt…

    If ever I need future advice he’ll be my go-to advisor. If there were more stars to award I’d still give him the maximum.”

    At last I can use my pension for living, and even saving, rather than simply furnishing debt
