Are your parents/grandparents 55 and over? Do they need extra cash for their holidays and for home repairs?
They could consider looking for an Equity release.
The term equity release is a generic term for products that let homeowners 55+ release the tax-free cash they have locked up in their home.
The Equity release mortgage is an option that provides them with more freedom and a higher standard of living in their later years, as they're able to access equity from their property; often with no monthly payments to make.
If they don’t want to sell their home, they could be able to access a large portion of their money from the property they own. They can consider an equity release arrangement to repay their existing residential mortgage and help funds not only their retirement but also to help their loved ones onto the property ladder.
Equity release can help them raise funds to spend while enabling them to continue living in their home. It can be used for any reason they wish and is particularly useful for covering large expenses.
You should seek professional advice before proceeding to take out any equity release mortgage as it could impact your entitlement to state benefits.
An equity release provider will provide you with either a lump sum or an income in exchange for part of the value of your home. This is achieved either using a type of mortgage or by selling that portion of your home on the condition that you can continue to live there as long as you wish.
As independent advisers we provide you with a written recommendation and will let you know if equity release doesn't meet your needs.
We will then submit the equity release application. We will also introduce you to suitably qualified and experienced solicitors to assist with the legal side of the transaction.
Once the provider has completed their checks, the property surveyed and the solicitors completed the legal work on behalf of you and the provider you will reach completion. The funds are then released directly to you.
