Equity release is a way of raising money against the value of your home. Equity release is a complex subject and it is vital to take independent financial advice before signing up to a scheme of this kind.
Older homeowners may be able to release part of the value of their home as income or a lump sum. For some people this can be a useful way of freeing up extra money but there may be drawbacks. Any money released may affect your eligibility for means-tested benefits.We strongly recommend that you take independent legal and financial advice before deciding to release equity from your home. Age Concern publishes a book‚ ‘Equity release made easy’‚ which explains all the questions you need to ask.
Age UK has launched the more money in your pocket campaign - to help us claim all the money we are owed. Last year‚ Age UK helped put more than £100 million in unclaimed benefits in the pockets of those of us in later life and our carers. Help us to do better this year.
