Things To Think About Before Equity Release
Releasing funds from your home
Equity release may allow eligible homeowners to access money tied up in their property, subject to lender criteria and product terms.
Staying in your home
Some products may allow you to remain in your home, provided you keep to the terms of the mortgage or plan.
Lump sum or drawdown options
Depending on the product, you may be able to release a single lump sum or draw funds in stages.
Optional repayments where available
Some lifetime mortgages may allow optional repayments, subject to lender rules and product terms.
Family and inheritance considerations
Equity release may reduce the value of your estate, so it can be important to consider family and inheritance plans.
Professional advice before proceeding
Advice is important because equity release is not suitable for everyone and alternatives should be considered.
