What is Equity Release?
If you are 55 or over and you own your own home, you could qualify for an equityrelease plan and unlock a lump sum from your property to help you enjoy the retirement you want.
The value of your home, minus any outstanding mortgage or any other lendingsecured on it, can be described as your ‘equity’. An equity release plan enableshomeowners like you to unlock some of this value as tax-free cash.
Because the funds are yours in the first place you’re simply just ‘releasing’ them. The money you receive is tax-free and can be spent on anything you like.
