Equity Release

Equity Release allows you to obtain a lump sum or steady income stream using the value of the capital in your home. The sum must be repaid at a later stage usually when the last legal owner dies or goes into long term care.

Releasing capital from your home with peace of mind.

Once you have taken independent equity release advice and decided on the equity release product, you will be required to take legal advice on the terms of the equity release and for an equity release solicitor to deal with the legal documentation before obtaining the funds.

  • After receiving the offer from your Lender, we will advise you on the terms and effect of taking out the mortgage
  • We will deal with your Lender’s legal representatives, addressing any issues that may arise
  • When it is clear that you are certain you wish to proceed and, when the Lender’s requirements are met, we will arrange for completion to take place
