What is Equity Release?
Equity Release plans allow you to raise money from your property and give you and
your spouse/partner the right to live in your home until both of you have died or
moved into long term care. You have the option of a lump sum payment, a draw-down
facility where you take further amounts as and when you want or a regular income.
Equity Release could make life more comfortable and enable you to fulfil your life
dreams. The money you raise may pay for home improvements, clear debts and mortgages,
or help your children or grandchildren get onto the property ladder. The list is
endless!
A lifetime mortgage involves taking out a loan secured on your property, while home
reversion involves selling all or part of your property. All Equity Release plans
will pay you a lump sum, a series of lump sums and/or an income. It is important
that you obtain unbiased, specialist advice from a Financial Services Authority
regulated adviser.
Both Lifetime mortgage and Home Reversion plans are regulated by the Financial Services
Authority (FSA).
