Equity release plans are available to homeowners who are age 55 or over, and can be used to raise a tax-free lump sum or additional income from your property.
Would you like to ask a question?
An equity release plan is a way of accessing the money tied up in your property without having to move home – your ‘equity’ is the value of your home, minus any outstanding mortgage. Because property prices have generally increased over time, many people’s homes are now worth more than what they paid for them, which means those at or approaching retirement could have more money tied up in their home than from their savings and income.

Don’t miss out on unlocking tax-free cash from your home. To find out how much you could release simply use Age Partnership’s Online Calculator below:
The money that you release is tax-free and can be spent in almost any way you want, plus there are typically no repayments to make unless you wish to. With lifetime mortgages, the most popular type of equity release, you continue to own 100% of your home and the plans are ‘portable’ which means that you can still move home in the future if you wish.
All plans come with a no-negative equity guarantee, so you can never owe more than your home is worth, plus some plans include options to guarantee an inheritance for your beneficiaries.
Specialist equity release advice is essential in order to discuss the effect on the amount of inheritance you can leave, and if your entitlement to means-tested benefits could be affected now or in the future. Other important things to consider are whether there are any alternatives to equity release, such as downsizing, or if there could be early repayment charges should you wish to pay off an equity release plan early.
You can release a lump sum of cash from the value of your property, whilst maintaining 100% ownership of your home. There are no monthly repayments to make as the amount released, plus any interest accrued, is repaid from the sale of their property when you pass away or move into long-term care.
This is similar to the standard lifetime mortgage, but with more flexibility on how you take your money. Rather than just receiving a one-off lump sum, you can release your cash over time, as and when you need it. Because you only accrue interest on the cash you have taken, this can be a more cost-effective way to release equity.

A home reversion plan allows you to exchange the ownership of your property for a lump sum of cash, and the right to stay in your property, rent free, for the rest of your life. Because you can continue living in your home rent-free for life, you would generally receive an amount for your property that is lower than its market value.
