Access cash from your home
Accessing tax free capital from your home is an important decision involving you and your family as it reduces the amount you can leave to your children and beneficiaries.
It is important to understand that only a lifetime mortgage would let you keep 100% ownership of your property to pass your wealth to your family and beneficiaries in the future.
The first step is to consider alternative methods of raising the funds as a lifetime mortgage using equity release usually involves interest rolls-up in the future.
You should work out how much you need now and if you will need additional sums in the future. Determine the value of your property to establish the percentage you need to borrow for a lump sum mortgage or drawdown mortgage or home reversion plan.

The loan to value (LTV) represents the amount you can release which is based on the youngest age of the applicants. Health conditions can also help increase the maximum loan to value.
If you decide this is the right option for you can start the process by taking the following steps.
