What is equity release?

Equity release enables you to unlock money from your home whilst still living there. You do not have to repay any of the money borrowed until the property is sold either on your death or when you move into care.
To qualify for an equity release scheme you must be over a certain age, usually 60, and own a property.
Equity release can provide you with access to:
- a single cash lump sum
- a facility to take cash lump sums as and when you need them
- a regular income
The importance of advice
It is essential to take professional financial advice before opting for an equity release plan, as releasing equity will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to state benefits. Also, if you choose to repay the loan early, you may incur early repayment charges.

As equity release is a lifelong commitment we recommend you involve your family in the decision making process because releasing money from the home will affect the amount that you will be able to leave them when you die.
