Explanation For Equity Release?

To give you an idea of the basics of equity release here are a few pointers:

• Equity release allows you to release some of the money tied up in your home without the need for you to move out and downsize your property.
• Equity release is usually either known as a lifetime mortgage (because the loan you are getting is meant to stay with you until the end of your days or if you need to move into sheltered accommodation or sell your property) or a home reversion scheme, in which case you sell a share of your property to a provider who recovers there share when you move, die or go into permanent care. In the latter scenario there is no equity release rate as such.
• Some of the current lifetime mortgage equity release rates may be cheaper than they have ever been and can provide a gateway to releasing equity. But as we all know rates vary so simply get in touch to find out the latest rates, you do not even have to commit to proceeding with us as any personalised quotations are provided for free.
• To be eligible for equity release plans providers ask that the youngest applicant be over the age of 55.
• With equity release you can sometimes choose to make no repayment of the loan whatsoever until the end or alternatively make payments of the interest to keep the lifetime mortgage at the same level. You can also have the maximum amount day one as a lump sum or take chunks over time, known as drawdown equity release.
