EQUITY RELEASE

WHAT IS EQUITY RELEASE?

Equity release is a way of releasing the wealth tied up in your property without having to sell it and move to another home. You could either borrow against the value of your home or sell all or part of it in exchange for a lump sum or regular monthly income. It’s also possible to release more equity from your property later in life if required.

Equity release is designed to help customers over the age of 55 years who own their property outright or have small mortgages left to pay.

Financial Security

Everyone wants financial security. To achieve it you need a plan – without a plan you will arrive somewhere but the chances are it won’t be where you want to be. For your plan to work it needs to consider your goals, the choices available to you to meet those goals, and how changing circumstances might influence how you achieve your goals.
