Important information: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. If you are consolidating existing borrowing, you may be extending the term of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
Equity release may affect the value of your estate and your entitlement to means-tested benefits. Most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
