Understanding Equity Release
A flexible way to release cash from your home while staying in it
Equity release allows homeowners, typically aged 55 and over, to access cash tied up in their property without moving. Common options include lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. This funding can be used for retirement income, home improvements, debt consolidation, or supporting family, with repayments typically deferred until death or moving into long-term care.
Find the Right Equity Release Solution for You
Flexible options tailored to your retirement and financial needs
Lifetime Mortgages
Borrow a lump sum or regular income secured against your home while retaining ownership, with interest rolled up or partially paid during your lifetime.
Drawdown Lifetime Mortgages
Access funds gradually as needed rather than a lump sum, paying interest only on withdrawn amounts, offering flexibility and financial control in retirement.
Home Reversion Plans
Sell a portion of your property to a provider for a lump sum while retaining the right to live in the property rent-free until death or care.
Flexible Equity Release
Some plans allow partial repayments or drawdown options, providing maximum control over funds, interest, and repayment strategy according to personal needs.

What Lenders Will Assess
Core factors for equity release approval
Age Requirement
Most plans require homeowners to be aged 55 or older, with minimum age thresholds depending on lender and product type.
Property Value and Condition
 Lenders assess market value, condition, and location, typically requiring standard construction, good repair, and freehold or long leasehold status.
Outstanding Mortgages
 Existing mortgage balances may need to be repaid or managed; lenders assess affordability and combined debt levels against property value.
Health and Life Expectancy
Some lifetime mortgage calculations consider life expectancy to determine lump sum and interest accrual; independent advice ensures suitability.

Funds based on property value, age, and plan type
The amount you can release depends on property value, age, and chosen plan type. Older homeowners can typically access higher percentages of property value. Mortgage-Tek provides personalised calculations to ensure you access the right amount safely while preserving your home and future options.
