Can you do equity release again?

You can do equity release more than once – as long as you haven’t released the maximum amount from your home already. There could be benefits in doing so – and we can make sure you’re aware of all your options.
 

How deciding to switch plans could benefit you

The decision to switch plans does call for careful thought, as you’d expect. But The Equity Release Experts can help you discover the options that are available to you. And, by getting to know you and your circumstances, we can be sure about recommending the right new equity release plan for you.   

You might find that deciding to switch plans could help you: 

Save money

When you take out an equity release plan, it’s likely that your interest rate is fixed for life. While that certainty can be a benefit for many, it’s actually a disadvantage if rates start to drop. 

Release more equity

You may find that switching equity release plans could help unlock even more equity from your home. Has your home gone up in value since your original plan started? Even just being older could let you unlock more funds.   

Get more features

With different equity release plans come many various features. Some you might want to benefit from, others perhaps not. But you could decide that, after starting a plan, there are features you currently don’t have access to – such as inheritance or downsizing protection. When you switch plans you could find a plan with these features included.

Things to consider with equity release

  • Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage, which is a loan secured against your home
  • Equity release will reduce your estate’s value and may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits
  • A lifetime mortgage may result in limited or no property equity remaining and will reduce your financial options in the future
  • The loan, plus compound interest, is typically repaid through the sale of the property when the last remaining applicant passes away or moves into long-term care
  • Unless you decide to go ahead with a plan, our service is completely free of charge, as our fixed equity release advice fee of £1,799 is only payable on completion of a plan
