Can you protect an inheritance?

You also have the option of protecting an inheritance to leave your family from the value of your home. So the amount you protect won’t be used when calculating how much you can borrow and your E&G adviser can discuss this with you.

Can you protect against negative equity?

Depending on product, you may also enjoy the option of a No Negative Equity guarantee. This means that the money you pay back will never be more than the total value of your home and you won’t have to repay the money you have released until the last surviving borrower dies or moves out of the home into long term care. When this happens, the monies released are normally repaid from the sale of your home.

Is Equity Release safe?

Equity Release is a highly regulated and popular way to free up money tied up in your home. For some people, unlocking money that’s tied up in property can make a real difference but, like all financial products, equity release may not be the right option for everyone. You should also think very carefully before securing other debts against your home and your E&G adviser can help you make the right decision.

What advice do you need?

Equity Release can be complicated so it’s important you get good financial and legal advice. You should also speak to any family members involved. Lifetime mortgages for Equity Release can only be arranged by authorised financial advisers.
