Equity release, also known as a lifetime mortgage, is a way for homeowners aged 55 or over to access tax-free cash from their property without selling or moving. It allows you to borrow against the value of your home or sell part of it in exchange for a lump sum or a regular income. Some plans even offer the flexibility to withdraw more cash in the future if needed.
If you still have a mortgage on your home, that’s not a problem – part of the funds you release will need to be used to pay it off first.Yes, equity release is a regulated financial product. We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring that all advice we provide is fair, transparent, and in your best interests.
One key safeguard of a lifetime mortgage is the no negative equity guarantee, which means you or your estate will never owe more than your home’s sale value, provided it is sold at the best price reasonably obtainable. This offers peace of mind that your loved ones won’t be left with unexpected debt.How you spend your funds is entirely up to you. Many homeowners choose to use equity release to make life more comfortable, whether that means upgrading their home, clearing debts, or supporting family members financially. Some use it to boost their retirement income, while others treat themselves to a new car or a well-earned holiday. Whatever your plans, equity release gives you the flexibility to enjoy your money in a way that suits your lifestyle.
