Equity release

For homeowners aged 55 or over, equity release can be a means of providing you with a cash lump sum, income, or combination of both, using the money you have tied up in your property.

There are two main types of equity release product: lifetime mortgages, which are mortgages that are secured against your home; and home reversion plans, where you sell all or part of your property to a reversion company in exchange for money. The majority of equity release products sold in the UK today are lifetime mortgages.
