After years of working hard to make monthly repayments, your home is likely to be your biggest asset, particularly if you have benefitted from an increase in house prices over the last few decades.
One way to release some of the equity from your home would be to sell and downsize, however leaving the family home and neighbourhood can be an emotional upheaval. This is one reason why some people are turning to equity release.
You may be eligible for equity release if you are a homeowner aged 55 and over with a property worth at least £70,000.
