Busting myths of equity release.

Have you considered how tax-free cash could support your retirement, but halted your exploration of equity release due to the following myths:

  • "I will owe more than my house is worth."
  • "I can’t obtain a later life loan with bad credit."
  • "I won’t be able to relocate."

With equity release, you are guaranteed to never owe more than the value of your property. Options are also available for those with a low credit score. Additionally, if you need to move, rest assured - all the products we recommend come with a guarantee of portability, subject to the lender's discretion.

Discover why 800,000 people chose Responsible Life for assistance with their equity release by calculating how much you can release today.

How does equity release work?

There are a variety of ways to take control of your later life finances and Lifetime Mortgages are at the forefront. They are the most popular form of equity release in the UK.

With a Lifetime Mortgage, you are borrowing money against the value of your home which means you will still own 100% of your property. Any monthly payments are entirely optional, however, it is recommended to make them if you can to reduce the amount of interest building up over time. Should you choose not to make any payments, interest will be added to the amount borrowed over time.

The full amount borrowed, plus interest, is only repaid when the last homeowner either dies or enters long-term care. This is usually achieved with the sale of the home.
