Looking to make a big purchase, extend or renovate your home or even help a loved one out with school fees? Whatever your reason for wanting to boost your finances, The Equity Release Experts are here to help. With an equity release remortgage, you may be able to release a further amount of tax free funds that are tied up in your home, without the stress or hassle of having to move.
An equity release mortgage is a way for homeowners over 55 to release tax-free funds from their property. Although there are a number of criteria you must meet, equity release is a popular way for people in or coming up to retirement to get a financial boost, without having to sell their home.
If you have an existing mortgage against your property, you could still have the option to release equity. You would just need to pay off your existing mortgage first.
Before you release equity, you’ll need to weigh up whether it’s the right option for you. It’s a decision which must be thought about carefully, but don’t worry − our equity release specialists can talk you through the options available to you, so you can make the right choice.
There are two types of equity release: lifetime mortgages and home reversion. Lifetime mortgages allow you to access some of the value locked in your property – either in one lump sum or by releasing an initial amount followed by smaller amounts - while still retaining ownership. There are also plans available that will allow you to pay the interest, if you wish to.
A home reversion plan, on the other hand, means that you sell part or all of your property to a reversion company in return for one tax-free lump sum. You then live rent free in your home, although you will no longer be the legal owner. There is no interest to pay on this type of loan – the provider will take their share of the proceeds when your home is sold at the end of the plan.
