Equity Release

Equity release is a way to release cash from the value of your property. It is an agreement between a ‘provider’ and the homeowner whereby the homeowner gets some of the value that is stored in his home. A lifetime mortgage and home reversion plan are the two basic forms of equity release.

Through lifetime mortgage, you can take a cash lump sum against your own house. You can continue to own and live in your house and the loan is repaid when you decide to sell the house or upon your death. There are no monthly payments required with a lifetime mortgage loan under which the interest is added to the loan either monthly or yearly and is only repaid upon the borrower’s death, sale of the house or when the borrower decides to move out of the house.

Home reversion plan is another form of equity release. Here the owner sells his home or a part of it to the reversion company but retains the right to live in it for the rest of his life. The money received may either be paid in a cash lump sum, a monthly income, or a combination of the two.
