EQUITY RELEASE

As financial pressures grow home equity release schemes are becoming more common.

A home equity release plan allows a borrower to draw down a lump sum from the equity in their home - some plans will also provide for additional future drawdowns.

Rather than making regular repayments to pay off the loan the Borrower signs over all or part of the equity in their home to the Lender. On the death of the Borrower or if they have to enter long term care their home is sold to repay the debt.

You should not enter into a home equity release plan without first taking advise from an Independent Financial Adviser. You should make sure that company offering the advance is a member of the SHIP scheme.
