The equity (value) you have in your home is its open market value less any other mortgage or other debt secured against it. Equity release is a way of extracting (more) physical cash from the value of your home without having to move out of it.
Equity release puts money in your hand when you need it. You can pay for holidays, a car or for care. You can fund a deposit for a family member or even use the loan to reduce the value of your estate for inheritance tax.
We can help you release the cash tied up in your home by raising money:
- on your main home, or
- on a holiday or second home perhaps
- or a buy to let property – even if it is let on a shorthold tenancy…
Borrowing money to fund lifestyle is a big step and one that you should always seek advice on.
There are two types of product in this market:
