The Step-by-Step Process of Releasing Equity With Alpus
Releasing equity from your home can be a significant financial decision. It’s essential to understand the process and the benefits it can offer. Alpus is committed to guiding you through this journey, ensuring you make informed choices.
Understanding Equity Release and Its Benefits
What is equity release? Equity release is a financial product that allows homeowners aged 55 or over to access a lump sum or regular income based on the value of their property. You retain ownership of your home, and the amount you receive is repaid upon your death or when you move into long-term care.
Common forms of equity release:
- Lifetime mortgage: Provides a lump sum or regular income, with interest added to the loan balance.
- Home reversion: You sell a part of your home’s ownership in exchange for a lump sum or regular income.
Key benefits of releasing equity:
- Financial freedom: Access funds for retirement, home improvements, or unexpected expenses.
- Maintain homeownership: Continue living in your home without selling.
- Inheritance planning: Protect assets for loved ones.
