1: What Is Equity Release?
Equity Release refers to a range of products letting you access the cash in your home. The process involves “releasing” money from your property while you still live there so that you can use the cash instead, which is especially useful in times of financial hardship or to make your retirement more comfortable.
2: How Can I Benefit From Equity Release?
Equity Release is currently only available for homeowners aged 55 and over. If you fall into this relevant category, you can decide to take a lump sum, an income, or a combination of the two.
3: What Are The Disadvantages Of Equity Release?
One of the main disadvantages of Equity Release is that you may not receive the total market value for your property. You may receive less money when compared with selling your home on the property market (but this will also come with considerations that you will have to find another property to live in if you do not have another one at present).
