Equity Release

Equity Release Advice

This aspect of our service is currently being referred to another specialist adviser.

Whatever your reason for boosting your finances in retirement, equity release could be the answer. You can release a tax-free lump sum from the wealth tied up in your home and you are free to use the money in any way you choose. What’s more, you have the peace of mind of staying in your home for life, with no monthly repayments required. Why not talk to one of our adviser’s today.

Equity Release and Lifetime Mortgages will reduce the value of your estate and can affect your eligibility for means tested benefits.

Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change

What you can do

  • You can release some of the equity from your home now and some in the future.
  • You can release some money against the value of your home for things such as home improvements or a holiday.
  • You can choose to set up an initial amount and at the same time set up a maximum loan to draw from in the future.
  • You can usually borrow from £10,000.
  • Each time you make a withdrawal it will be at the appropriate interest rate (this applies to Lifetime Mortgages only, a form of equity release) at the time the withdrawal is taken and will be based on your age at that time.

Important points to bear in mind
