Welcome to The Later Life Club, your trusted financial partner. Our goal is to assist homeowners like you in accessing the financial potential locked in their homes. Let’s guide you through the process of releasing money from your home in a few simple steps.
Home Equity Release is a mechanism allowing homeowners aged 55 and over to tap into the ‘equity’ or value of their homes, without the need to sell or move out. It can be a strategic method to secure your financial future, allowing you to access funds for various needs, such as supplementing your retirement income, making home renovations, funding long-term care, or helping your loved ones financially.
Step 1: Get Informed
Knowledge is the first step towards making sound financial decisions. We at The Later Life Club prioritise educating our clients about the ins and outs of equity release. Our expert team can help clarify the benefits, potential impacts, and alternatives to equity release, ensuring you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Step 2: Determine Eligibility
Equity release eligibility primarily involves two factors – your age and your property. Typically, you must be a homeowner aged 55 or over, and the property should be in the UK. The amount of money you can release will depend on your property’s value and your age. Our advisors can guide you through this assessment process and provide an estimated amount you might be able to release.
Step 3: Choose Your Equity Release Scheme
There are two main forms of equity release – Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans. Each has its unique features and suitability. Our advisors will present a detailed comparison, explaining how each plan works, its advantages and potential downsides, helping you choose the scheme that aligns best with your needs and financial goals.
Step 4: Professional Home Valuation
There are two primary types of equity release – Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans. Each scheme has its unique features and benefits. Our team of experts will guide you through each option, allowing you to make a decision that aligns with your personal needs and circumstances.
Step 5: Legal Formalities
The next step involves professionally valuing your home. This process helps to ascertain the amount of equity you can release. The evaluation is conducted by a professional surveyor, who will assess your property’s value based on factors such as its location, size, condition, and the housing market trends.
Step 6: Release Your Equity
Upon completion of the paperwork and legal process, your equity is released. Depending on the type of equity release plan you’ve chosen, you can receive the funds as a one-time lump sum, drawdown, or as regular payments.
