Equity release schemes
How do equity release schemes work?
Equity release schemes allow you to release cash from your home to spend how you choose, with typically no monthly repayments to make. There are a range of equity release schemes available on the UK market and all come with their own benefits and drawbacks. With so many options available, how do you know which one to choose?
If you are considering equity release as your next financial move, it is always a good idea to read up on the different types of equity release schemes so you understand more about how they work.
You can do this either through our website literature or alternatively by requesting a free equity release guide, which we will post straight to you.
