Equity Release

For many retired people their home is their major asset. Equity Release can allow you benefit from the value of your home without having to move out of it. This can be in the form of:

• Cash sum
• Income
• Combination of cash and income

In all instances, age is the primary factor in determining the percentage of the value of your home that can be released. An older person can release a higher percentage of the value of their home, than a person of a younger age. You will normally have to be over 60 to apply but there is no upper age limit.

There are a number of important issues to think about when considering Equity Release such as negative equity guarantees, ensuring you keep full ownership of your home and whether your policy allows you to move house if you should so wish.

At Newstead Clark we will ensure that we find the right policy for your individual circumstances.
