How equity release works

Testimonials

Tony Morris-Davies – Surrey,

I don’t think that we would have got a mortgage without John. He was highly efficent and always dealt with issues promptly. After a couple of false starts due to our circumstances, our third mortgage application was approved four days after the application was submitted and that saved our purchase which was on a tight deadline. So a big thank you to John and we highly recommend his services.

Mr K Martin – Reigate,

This is the second time that I have used John. I was able to cancel the original Equity Release mortgage and renew at a substantially reduced interest rate. The renewal was complicated by a restriction on the Land Registry and other problems. John acted efficiently and professionally in assisting in the resolution of the difficulties and was always available to guide and reassure. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I did so in 2016 and I have pleasure in doing so now.

Mrs S, Surrey

“I was first introduced to John in October/November through my daughter’s Financial Adviser. He visited me with my daughter present to explain what was involved in releasing equity in my property – I had recently been bereaved and did not wish to move house at the present time.

He was very pleasant and the whole discussion was clearly set out as to what was involved and he explained the various stages of the procedure. This was all conducted in a very relaxed fashion – no hard sell, no pressure. We finally agreed on how much equity I wished to release and he set the wheels in motion. I had various papers to find – some of which were available to him there and then – others would be needed further along the line. He advised that I would be hearing from my solicitor and that the financial side would be handled by the recommended lender.

I duly received an acknowledgement from solicitor followed by an appointment with a firm of solicitors near to my home in order to have my identification verified. This was all satisfactory and I was advised that I would received confirmation of my acceptance before Christmas. This I received on 22nd December and the funds were in my bank before the new year. This could not have been easier or executed more smoothly and John was the driver behind this satisfactory conclusion – I enjoyed working with him. There was no pressure (as with double glazing agents!) I wish him well for the future and now I just have to spend my money!

Is equity release right for you?

Many people over the age of 55 find that much of their cash is tied up in their property meaning that they cannot use it in the way that they would like. Equity release can be a useful way of accessing the money that is tied up in your property either in a lump sum or as a series of payments.

Equity release schemes can usually be used for any purpose from funding home renovations and improvements to gifting family members and funding leisure and lifestyle costs. There are various different schemes available so it is important to take expert advice before committing yourself to any form of equity release.

If you are currently gathering information I would be happy to provide you with an idea of how much equity you could potentially release from your property. Fill in this form and I will get back to you with a free, no-obligation estimate.
