What is equity release?

Knowing what to look for when getting an equity release can help homeowners avoid making costly mistakes or risk losing money. Whether getting an equity release is a safe or wise decision will likely depend on a person’s financial standing along with many factors and priorities along the way.

5 key reasons why equity release is becoming so popular:

  • Allows you to release money right now
  • Enjoy life and be financially comfortable as you age
  • Interest rates that first apply to the funding are fixed for life
  • You don’t want to move to a smaller house
  • You can take the money in one lump sum or smaller instalments

However, equity release won’t always be your best option, and this website attempts to educate you on the circumstances when equity release may and may not be best for certain situations, although this advice is general in nature, and not specific to anyone’s particular set of facts.

How much equity could I release?

The amount of equity you can release depends on your age, house value, and on how much of your mortgage is paid off. Most people release between 20-50% of the equity in their home, typically between £10,000-£100,000.

Because house prices have risen over the years, the equity you have in yours could be significant.

For example, if your home is worth £250,000 and you have an outstanding mortgage of £50,000, you would have £200,000 equity.
