Each equity release provider will set their own criteria. However, to be eligible, you’ll usually need to be aged at least 55 and the property must be your main home. Your age and the value of your home will affect the amount you can release.  

There are several different types of equity release. The most common is a “lifetime mortgage”.

A lifetime mortgage is similar to a loan secured against your home. However, rather than making regular repayments, the amount you owe, along with any interest accrued, is usually rolled up. The debt will be paid when you move into long-term care or pass away.

As a result, a lifetime mortgage could be a useful way to boost your finances now without increasing your regular expenses.  You can receive the money you release as a one-off lump sum or regular smaller payments or a mixture of the two.
