If you’re over 55, equity release becomes an option for you if you are looking to release money tied up in your home without having to move. There are two main types of equity release option, lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. A lifetime mortgage lets you borrow money against the value of your home without losing ownership. With a home reversion plan you sell all or part of the property in return for a lump sum or regular payments. the property in return for a lump sum or regular payments.

An equity release lifetime mortgage is similar to a retirement interest only mortgage but there is no monthly mortgage payment. The interest is rolled up and added to the mortgage balance. The loan is repaid on the occurrence of a life event leading to the sale of the property.

A lifetime mortgage is secured against your home and is a complex product. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up the repayments on your mortgage. You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested. Accessing pension benefits early may impact on levels of retirement income and your entitlement to certain means-tested benefits. Accessing pension benefits is not suitable for everyone. You should seek advice to understand your options at retirement.
