People seeking equity release
Equity release can be a tempting option if you need to release a capital sum or boost your income.
If you’re a homeowner and aged 55 or over, you may be one of the thousands considering equity release to unlock the value of your home and turn it into cash.
There are many reasons people choose equity release, including home improvements, topping up retirement income, purchasing a new car or consolidating debts. You can use the money how you wish and the best part is that you can stay in your home with no need to sell and downsize.
But, before you choose equity release, you must consider whether downsizing or borrowing money from family members would be a better route for you to go down.
Let us work with you to dispel the myths of equity release and decide if it is something you should consider doing.
