Equity Mortgages


What is equity release?

Equity release is simply a means of unlocking the value tied up in your home into tax free cash that can be used for any purpose. There are two main types both offering the same outcome but in different ways. These plans are known as Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans.

The demand for equity release has never been so high. Those at or near retirement are striving for a better retirement, which often their pension provision will not afford.
