What Is Equity Release?

Find out how equity release schemes work

Equity release refers to a range of products that let you convert equity tied up in your home into cash. When you reach 55, you can take the money you release as a lump sum, in several payments or as a combination of both.

There are two equity release options

  • Lifetime Mortgage.  You take out a mortgage secured on the home you live in while retaining ownership. You can choose to ring-fence some of the value of your property as an inheritance for your family. You can choose to make repayments or let the interest roll-up. The loan amount and any accrued interest is paid back when you die or when you move into long-term care.
  • Home Reversion. A home reversion provider will by some or all your home for a lump sum or regular payments. You can continue living in the property until you die rent free. You will continue to maintain and insure it. You can ring-fence a percentage of your property for later use, like for inheritance. Unless you decide to take further cash releases, the percentage you own will remain the same. Regardless of how property values change. Your property is sold at the end of the plan.  Proceeds from the sale are shared according to the remaining proportions of ownership.
