Answering your questions
Still unsure of a few things? We've got you covered with a few simple answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Equity is the value of the assets you own (in this case your property) minus any outstanding debt such as a mortgage.
For example, if your home is worth £250,000 and you have a mortgage of £50,000, then you have £200,000 equity. If you had no outstanding mortgage, your equity would be the same as the full property value, which would be £250,000.
Equity release allows you to release some of the equity in your home as tax-free cash, either as a lump sum or in smaller, regular amounts. There are usually no monthly repayments on the equity that has been released unless you choose a plan with this built-in. The amount of equity released and its associated interest rolls up over time and is only repayable when you pass away or move into long term care.
Every equity release provider compared by this service is a member of the Equity Release Council. This ensures that every plan recommended carries a "no negative equity guarantee". This means that when your property is sold, and agents' and solicitors' fees have been paid, even if the amount left is not enough to repay the outstanding loan to your provider, neither you nor your estate will be liable to pay any more.
To be eligible for equity release you must meet the following criteria:
- Be aged 55 or over. If you apply for equity release as a couple, the youngest applicant on the deeds of the property must also be 55 or above.
- Be able to pay off any outstanding mortgage or debts secured on the property with the funds raised from equity release.
- Own your own home in the UK, with a value of £70,000 or more.
- If the property title is leasehold, as opposed to freehold, the minimum remaining lease must be 75 years or more.
- Be a UK resident.
The amount of money that you can release from your home typically depends on the value of your property, your age and your health.
The older you are, the more you can generally release up to a maximum of around 50% of your property's value for older customers. Those with existing health conditions could unlock additional cash with an enhanced equity release plan.

Most equity release applications take between 6 to 8 weeks to complete. However this can vary significantly depending on the circumstances; in some instances, it may be quicker, in others, it may be longer. If you decide that an equity release plan is suitable for your needs and proceed through the service, all will be done to keep your wait to a minimum and make sure that payment is made to your bank account as soon as possible.
