Can I Change My Equity Release Plan?

If you find a more competitive plan, you may be eligible to change your equity release scheme. You may also release more equity if your home increases in value, or pay the plan off early.

Remember that you will be paying more than you received in the initial loan however and some plans do carry an early repayment fee. All of these factors should be taken into account before proceeding and it is always best to discuss your personal situation with a financial adviser.

Can I Release Equity on a Buy to Let Property?

Homeowners and landlords now have the option to borrow the equity in their vacation or rental homes through home equity release schemes available on buy to let properties. The tax savings for landlords can be significant as interest payments provide tax relief against rental income. The funds released through these options can help with the acquisition of new properties, generating added rental income for landlords.
