What you need to know about Equity Release
Why don't we provide an online equity release calculator?
Many other equity release companies offer products tied to specific interest rates as part of their equity release products. We are an independent company directly authorised by the FCA, so we don’t have restrictions on which lenders we work with. This allows us to find the best equity release products for you. When you submit your details via our online form, we scour the market for the best deal, and as deals change constantly, we can’t practically do this with an online calculator.
Are you eligible for equity release?
You are eligible for equity release if you are aged 55 or over. Any existing mortgage on your home must be repaid. Homeowner must be over 55 and UK resident (excl. NI). If you’re applying as a couple, both you and your partner must be aged 55 or over.
Do you payback equity release?
You do payback the equity you release from your property. You can pay back the loan at any time, however early repayment charges will be payable for a set amount of time, usually between 8-15 years.
You may also be able to make overpayments or voluntary payments during the term of your loan without penalty. However, if the loan is repaid on death, or upon entering long term care, then no early repayment charges will apply.
Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage.
How much equity could you release?
How much equity you can release from your property is determined by the value of your property, your age and your personal circumstances. The maximum loan to value you can release is 55%.
Please note: Equity release involves securing a loan against your home and requires a detailed application process. It’s important to be aware that this decision could impact your homeownership, especially if long-term care is needed in the future. We encourage discussing this option with a financial advisor to determine how it fits with your overall financial strategy
What does martin Lewsi think about Equity Release?
Martin Lewis states that equity release can be a good financial product if you require the funds and are not concerned about the impact of leaving an inheritance. However, he says equity release can be expensive and that you should always consider downsizing first, as he believes it is the easiest way to release equity from your home.
Do you get taxed on equity release
The short answer is no, there’s no direct tax to pay on the money you receive from an Equity Release plan. When you borrow against your home with a Lifetime Mortgage, it’s not classed as income so there’s no income tax to pay on the money.
