As homeowners reach retirement, many find that a large portion of their wealth is tied up in their property. Equity release allows you to unlock some of this value without having to sell your home. Whether you need extra income, want to fund home improvements, or help family members financially, equity release provides a flexible solution. However, it’s important to understand the options available and ensure it’s the right choice for your circumstances.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some aspects of buy to let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Why You Might Need Equity Release

Access Tax-Free Cash Without Moving

Equity release allows you to unlock a portion of your home’s value as a tax-free lump sum or regular payments, without having to sell or downsize. This provides financial freedom while allowing you to remain in your home.

Flexible Repayment Option

Unlike traditional loans, most equity release schemes don’t require monthly repayments. Instead, the loan is repaid when you sell your home or when the homeowner passes away or moves into long-term care, making it a low-stress borrowing option.

Use the Funds However You Choose

Equity release can be used for a variety of purposes, such as home improvements, clearing debts, or helping family members get on the property ladder. It gives you the financial flexibility to make the most of your later years.
