Equity release is a way for homeowners aged 55 and over to access the value tied up in their property — as a tax-free lump sum, a regular drawdown, or both — without having to sell up or move out. The most common type is a lifetime mortgage, where a loan is secured against your home and repaid, along with rolled-up interest, when the property is eventually sold. For a full explanation of how it works and whether it might suit you, read our what is equity release guide.

Wareham Yes — we provide specialist equity release advice to homeowners across Bournemouth and the wider BCP area. We offer home visits at a time that suits you, as well as phone and video appointments if you’d prefer to speak with us from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re in central Bournemouth, out towards Christchurch, or in one of the surrounding Dorset towns, we can arrange a no-obligation consultation at your pace.
The amount you can release depends on two main factors: your age and the value of your property. As a general rule, the older you are, the higher the percentage of your home’s value you can access — typically ranging from around 20% at age 55 to over 50% for those in their mid-70s or older. Given that detached properties in BH postcodes are among the most valuable in the South of England, many Bournemouth homeowners find they have access to a meaningful sum. For a full breakdown of how the calculation works, visit our how much equity can I release guide.

All advice is provided by FCA-regulated, whole-of-market specialists.
From your initial consultation through to funds in your account, the process typically takes 6–8 weeks. This includes the advice stage, property valuation, legal work, and lender processing. There are experienced solicitors and surveyors operating across the BH postcode area, which helps keep things moving smoothly. Your dedicated adviser will manage the entire process and keep you updated at every stage — so there are no surprises.
