Equity Release Mortgage Broker

We'll help you compare equity release options, explain the pros and cons of each solution, and recommend the most suitable equity release product for your circumstances.

What is Equity Release?

Equity release is a way for older homeowners to access some of the value tied up in their property without having to sell it. Equity release products can provide tax-free cash, which can be used in a variety of ways. You can take the money that you release as either a single lump sum, in several small increments, or as a combination.

Is Equity Release Right for You?

Equity release may be suitable if you're aged 55 or over and want to:

  • supplement your retirement income
  • pay off an existing mortgage or debt
  • fund home improvements
  • help children or grandchildren financially

Your Equity Release Options

There are a range of different services that allow you to access the equity that is tied up within your property. Our advisers will take the time to understand your individual circumstances and provide tailored advice to help you make an informed decision. Options include lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans.

Lifetime Mortgages

A lifetime mortgage is the most common type of equity release. It allows homeowners aged 55 and over to release money from their property while retaining ownership. The loan, plus any interest, is usually repaid when the property is sold after you move into long-term care or pass away. Our advisers will explain how lifetime mortgages work and whether they're suitable for your circumstances.

Home Reversion Plans

A home reversion plan is a type of equity release product that allows you to sell all or part of your property to an equity release provider while continuing to live there rent-free for the rest of your life. In return, you receive either a lump sum or regular payments. We'll explain whether this option is suitable and how it compares with a lifetime mortgage.

Equity Release Mortgage Broker FAQs

Do I Still Own My Home?

If you choose a lifetime mortgage, you remain the owner of your home. With a home reversion plan, you sell all or part of your property to a provider while retaining the right to live there rent-free for the rest of your life. We'll explain how each option works and help you decide which, if either, is right for you.

How Much Can I Release?

The amount you can release depends on several factors, including your age, the value of your property, your health, and the lender's criteria. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalised illustration and explain the options available to you.

Is Equity Release Safe?

Equity release is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and should always be arranged through a qualified adviser. As members of the Equity Release Council, we only recommend products that meet recognised industry standards, giving you additional reassurance and consumer protection.

I would fully recommend Greg and Greenacre Financial Services. As a first time buyer I was daunted by the process of finding the right mortgage for me however Greg made the process really simple, clear and quick. He was always available to answer any questions and happy to explain everything. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Greenacre FS to my friends and family.

We first met with Greg in May for advice as we had adverse credit and irregular pay and didn't think a mortgage was in our reach. Less than two weeks later Greg had fully arranged a great deal for us on our first mortgage. He was available whenever we needed him, 7 days a week and in the evenings. We cannot thank Greg enough for helping us buy our first home!

Would highly recommend Greg and Greenacre Financial Services. Was extremely professional and helpful. Our mortgage wasn’t straight forward due to my husband being self employed but Greg was very knowledgable and managed to find us a really good mortgage. Looking forward to working with him again in the future

What can I say, Greg has been absolutely amazing in sorting out a mortgage for me I never thought was possible. It has meant I have been able to buy a house, a few months ago, I would never have dreamed of being able to buy after talking to high street lenders. He worked exceptionally hard and always kept me updated with every step of the process. Buying a house is extremely stressful, but Greg took all that stress away from me. I cannot recommend Greg enough to anyone looking to buy a property. Thank you so much for your help Greg, it's greatly appreciated.
