Equity release is a powerful financial mechanism that empowers homeowners, particularly those in their later years, to access the latent value within their property.

We are here to guide homeowners through this process, providing clear and comprehensive insights into the implications and obligations tied to such financial arrangements.

Equity Release Process

Essentially, equity release allows homeowners to convert a portion of their property’s equity into a cash sum or a steady income stream without the need to sell or vacate the property.

Different Types Of Equity Release

Equity release primarily involves two main types: lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. Our legal expertise allows us to help clients understand these options thoroughly.

Lifetime Mortgages

  • A lifetime mortagage allows you to take a lump sum loan, with your house as security. No repayments are required, and when the house is sold, the proceeds are used to pay off the loan and any interest accrued.

Interest-only Equity Release

  • This is similar to a lifetime mortgage, except you will make regular repayments to pay interest. This reduces the amount that has to be paid when the house is sold.

Home Reversion

  • This involves selling a portion of your home to an equity provider. You can continue to live in the house rent-free. When the house is sold, the equity provider will receive a portion of the proceeds, equal to their share.

Questions you might have

On average, conveyancing takes between six and eight weeks, however, the process can be shorter or longer than this, depending on the circumstances involved in the transaction. For example, if you are part of a long property chain, problems that occur further down the chain can cause delays to your transaction. Your dedicated solicitor will use their advanced conveyancing knowledge and skills to identify and deal with any potential problems before they can escalate, helping to keep your property transaction moving at a good pace.
