Equity Release

In recent years, Equity Release has helped homeowners in Britain realize the true value of their assets. Equity Release allows homeowners to access the equity in their homes, without having to sell or move out. This can be a valuable way to boost retirement income, pay for home improvements, or cover other financial needs.

Equity Release: A way to tap into your home’s value and boost your retirement income

Our home often fulfils a psychological and emotional need, but it also represents a sound investment. Equity Release can be a great way to benefit from that investment while still living in your home.

Equity Release is a way to get cash out of your property’s value without having to move. It can be a valuable way to boost your retirement income, pay for home improvements, or cover other financial needs.

Many older people find themselves in the frustrating position of having a more limited income in retirement than they anticipated, while living in a property that has grown enormously in value.

How to pay for Equity Release:

Equity Release can help by providing you with a regular income, a lump sum, or both.

Any amount raised does not usually result in monthly payments, though many lenders allow you to pay the monthly interest, ensuring the loan doesn’t increase. Instead, the loan is repaid on death or other circumstances such as moving to a care home.

 

5 Quick Points to Equity Release.

 

 

      • 1. Make sure you claim all the state benefits due to you, and explore the possibility of downsizing or renting out a room.

 

  • 2. Do your sums– Complete a budget planner. Work out your income requirements and how this might change in the years ahead.

 

  • 3. For home improvements, see if your local authority offers any grants for the work required. Is it the right solution for you?

 

 

  • 5. Which features are best for you? Do not assume that the lowest interest rate is necessarily the best. Any plan will have various features; some allow you to make monthly payments to avoid the interest rolling up.
