Your questions answered…


What is equity release?
Equity release plans are a popular way for homeowners aged 55+ to unlock the tax-free cash tied up in their bricks and mortar. With an equity release plan, you don’t have to sell or move out of your home and the cash is yours to spend how you wish. You don’t have to make any monthly repayments (although this is possible on some plans if you wish to slow the rate at which the interest accrues). Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to some state benefits.

Will I still own my home?

If you choose a lifetime mortgage – the most popular type of equity release plan – then yes, you will still own your home. You also have the guarantee that with all Equity Release Council approved plans, you have the right to remain in your home until you pass away or move into long-term care. It is at this point that your home is sold and the original loan amount plus interest is repaid. Any remaining money is returned to you or your beneficiaries.



How much cash can I unlock?
With an equity release plan, the amount of money you can release from your home typically depends on your age and the value of your property. To find out instantly how much you could release, use the free equity release calculator at the top of this page.Some providers allow you to release even more money if you have a qualifying lifestyle or health condition (many of which are quite common, including being a smoker, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol).


Will I owe more than my home is worth?

No, all the plans that we recommend are Equity Release Council approved and offer the ‘No Negative Equity’ guarantee. This ensures that regardless of what happens to house prices in the future, you will never owe more than the value of your house.
