If you are over 55 and own your own home, equity release can be a fantastic way to take advantage of the value of your treasured asset to unlock some well-deserved cash later in life. House prices have risen significantly in recent years and there could be more equity available to you than ever before.

Although an equity release scheme is a useful way to access a financial boost, you must seek financial advice to ensure you make the right decision for your individual circumstances.

1 Do your research

Your home is likely the most valuable thing you own so it’s important that you look in the right places and get reliable information if you are considering utilising its value.

Have a think about your goals for the years ahead and research the different providers and plans available that could help you to achieve them. You could also use our free online calculator to find out instantly how much you could release.

2 Take your time

Make sure you take your time to decide whether equity release is the most suitable solution for you, as taking from the value of your home now will reduce the value of your estate in the future and could affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits.
