    What is Equity Release?

    Equity release is a secured form of borrowing that allows you to release monies from the equity in your property whilst you continue to live in it. There is no affordability criteria and after the monies are borrowed the borrower does not have to make any monthly repayments. The monies are repaid either when the property is sold or the borrower no longer resides at the property.

    To be eligible to release monies from your property on the basis of an equity release product, usually the following have to apply:
