Equity Release Guide

Home Reversion

Benefits

  • You can usually raise more cash than under a Lifetime Mortgage.
  • By retaining a percentage ownership in your property, you know that you can leave it as an inheritance.
  • If you only release part of the equity you know that you are able to release further amounts in the future, capitalising on any increase in the value of your property.
  • There is no debt or new financial obligation.
  • You are usually eligible for a Home Reversion plan between 65 and 80 years of age.

Considerations

  • You will not benefit from any appreciation in the value of the proportion of the property that you sell.
  • You will no longer own all of your property.
  • As the discount at which the Home Reversion plan is arranged is based on your age and life expectancy, a Home Reversion plan may be poor value if you die or move into care early.
