Releasing Equity

An equity release plan allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access some of the tax-free cash tied up in the value of their home.

If you’re considering releasing money from your home, then you probably already have a good idea of how you’d like to spend it, weather it be for a trip of a lifetime or to make some much needed home improvements, clearing existing debts or to support loved ones.

If you want the money all at once, then you could opt for a lump sum lifetime mortgage. Alternatively you could opt to take initial amount and then release further funds as and when you need to at a later date, you might choose a drawdown lifetime mortgage.

Whichever way you choose, with our product range, guided by Gloucester Mortgage Centre's expert advisors, you can be confident our helpful and friendly experts will find the right product for your needs.

What to consider before taking out a lifetime mortgage?

With a lifetime mortgage, the most popular form of equity release, you’ll still own your home and there are typically no monthly repayments.

That’s because it’s a loan secured against your property and repaid when your plan comes to an end. Usually, that’s when you, or the last remaining applicant, either passes away or enters long-term care.

All of our equity release plans meet the Equity Release Council standards and come with the no negative equity guarantee. This means you’ll never owe more than the value of your home and any debt you accrue through equity release will never be passed on to your family.
