Equity release in the UK is most often used by homeowners aged fifty-five and above who want to access money tied up in their property without the upheaval of moving.
The most common route is a lifetime mortgage, where a loan is secured against the home and interest is added to the balance. Unlike a standard mortgage, there are usually no monthly repayments to worry about, although some plans allow voluntary payments if the borrower wishes to keep the debt lower. The released funds can be taken as a lump sum or in smaller amounts over time, depending on the needs.
People often use equity release to clear an existing mortgage, carry out home improvements, or help family members with deposits for their own properties.
The loan and interest are usually repaid when the homeowner dies or moves permanently into long-term care, and the property is then sold. Providers must follow rules set by the Financial Conduct Authority, and those who are members of the Equity Release Council offer extra safeguards such as the “no negative equity” guarantee. Because releasing equity reduces the value of an estate and may affect benefits, it is essential to take professional advice before proceeding.
