Could equity release be right for you?
There are lots of reasons that people choose to release equity from their homes. For many people who still have a mortgage on their home, equity release allows them to repay their existing mortgage, which in turn frees up more disposable income as they’re no longer making monthly repayments.
You don’t have to have a mortgage in order to release equity from your home. As long as you’re aged 55 or over and own your own home you can apply to release some of the tax free cash from your home.
In the last 3 months, we have seen an increase in the number of people releasing equity in order to provide a gift of cash to their loved ones. Whilst some people are still thinking about those home improvements that they’d like to make.
Accessing the cash
Whatever your reason for releasing equity from you’re your home.
There are lots of different ways that you can choose to access the tax-free cash that you release.
There are plans that allow you to access your money as a monthly income over a set length of time. A bit like receiving a salary in your bank account each month.
Other plans allow you to take out a single lump sum of cash, if you have a need for a large volume of money in one payment.
While drawdown plans allow you to access a lump sum and also have access to a reserve of cash that you could call upon at a later date for emergencies, or whatever you wish.
A specially trained advisor can talk through all of these options with you to find the best plan for your individual circumstances.

Case study (from brochure)
Mr and Mrs Kelly
After seeing the Age Partnership television advert, Mr and Mrs Kelly were keen to find out how equity release could help them.
Releasing money from their home to repay their mortgage would provide them with peace of mind and one less worry in life.
Naturally, they first discussed their intentions with their family: “Our son and daughter were extremely supportive, along with our granddaughter who also lived with us at the time”.
With the encouragement from their family, they decided to go ahead and speak to an advisor.
Mrs Kelly said, “We have absolutely no complaints – the advisor was extremely helpful and kept us up to date throughout.”
With such a positive experience the first time, the couple decided to come back to Age Partnership:
“We knew we had access to additional funds and wanted to carry out some much needed home improvements.”
Mr and Mrs Kelly highlighted how important it was that equity release gave them the guarantee that they can remain in their home for the rest of their lives, so being able to carry out a few renovations has given them a comfortable life, one that they can enjoy with their family.
