What is equity release?
Equity release, also known as a lifetime mortgage, is a way for homeowners over the age of 55 to borrow against the value of their home without having to sell it. The loan is repaid with interest when the homeowner dies or moves out of the house. Equity release can be a way for seniors to access money for expenses such as home repairs, medical bills, or travel. There are two main types of equity release schemes: lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. Both enable homeowners aged 55 and over to release cash from their properties, and both allow homeowners to stay in their homes until they die or enter long-term care. The chief difference between the two is that a lifetime mortgage is secured against your property, and you retain full home ownership, whereas, with a home reversion plan, you must sell a share of your home.
