Equity release schemes involve either a lifetime mortgage or a home reversion plan. With a lifetime mortgage, you take out a loan secured against your property, and the loan, plus interest, is repaid when you pass away or move into long-term care. With a home reversion plan, you sell a portion or all of your home to a provider in exchange for a lump sum or regular payments while retaining the right to live in the property.
To be eligible for equity release, you generally need to be at least 55 years old and own a property in the UK that meets certain criteria, such as being of a certain value and in reasonable condition. Lenders may also consider factors like your health and lifestyle.
The amount you can release through equity release depends on various factors, including your age, the value of your property, and the type of scheme you choose. Generally, the older you are and the higher the value of your property, the more you can potentially release.
With a lifetime mortgage, you retain ownership of your home. However, with a home reversion plan, you sell a portion or all of your home, but you still have the right to live in it until you pass away or move into long-term care.
No, there are usually no restrictions on how you can use the money released through equity release. You can use it to fund home improvements, pay off debts, support your lifestyle, or help your family financially.
Equity release is a long-term commitment that can have financial implications. The loan amount and accumulated interest can erode the equity in your property, affecting any inheritance you plan to leave behind. It’s crucial to seek independent financial advice and consider the potential impact on your finances, eligibility for means-tested benefits, and tax implications.
With a lifetime mortgage, you may be able to move home, but it’s essential to check whether the new property meets the lender’s criteria. Some lifetime mortgages are portable, allowing you to transfer the loan to a new property, while others may impose penalties or restrictions. Home reversion plans may have limitations on moving home.
Releasing equity from your home can affect your eligibility for means-tested benefits, as it could increase your overall assets and income. It’s advisable to consult with an independent financial advisor who can assess your specific circumstances and provide guidance on potential benefit implications.
It’s crucial to research and compare equity release providers to find the most suitable one for your needs. Consider factors such as interest rates, fees, reputation, customer reviews, and independent advice availability. Consulting with an independent financial advisor who specializes in equity release can also help you make an informed decision.

A lifetime mortgage is a long-term commitment which could accumulate interest and is secured against your home. Equity release is not right for everyone and may reduce the value of your estate.
*Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Banks and building societies change their mortgage rates quite frequently so it is always best to shop around when looking for the best deals. But while low interest rates are attractive, they are not the only consideration. You should also factor in the type of deal you want – such as a fixed or variable rate mortgage – the fees attached to the deal, plus how long you want to be tied into the loan.
