Equity Release Mortgages

Equity release allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access the wealth tied up in their property without having to sell or move. It can provide a tax-free lump sum or regular income to supplement your retirement, fund home improvements, help family members, or cover care costs. The loan plus accumulated interest is typically repaid when you die or move into long-term care. Our [borrowing calculator](/calculators/borrow-amount) can give you an initial indication of the amounts involved.

Equity Release Mortgage Advice

Equity release allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access the wealth tied up in their property without having to sell or move. It can provide a tax-free lump sum or regular income to supplement your retirement, fund home improvements, help family members, or cover care costs. The loan plus accumulated interest is typically repaid when you die or move into long-term care. Our borrowing calculator can give you an initial indication of the amounts involved.

There are two main types of equity release: lifetime mortgages, where you borrow against your home and the interest rolls up over time, and home reversion plans, where you sell a share of your home in exchange for a lump sum. Lifetime mortgages are by far the most popular option, accounting for the vast majority of equity release plans in the UK.

At Clearview Mortgage Solutions, our advisers are qualified to advise on equity release products. We’ll explain all the options, help you understand the long-term costs, and ensure you make an informed decision that’s right for you and your family.

Yes, but the amount available for inheritance will be reduced by the amount you owe. With a lifetime mortgage, the debt grows over time through compound interest, so the longer the plan is in place, the less equity remains. Many plans offer an inheritance protection feature that allows you to ring-fence a percentage of your home’s value for your beneficiaries.
