If you’re looking to boost your income in retirement, then you might have considered equity release. After all the latest figures from the Equity Release Council (ERC) show it’s popularity is soaring.

Equity release helps you unlock cash from your home when you’re in retirement without having to sell it and move to another home. You can either borrow against the value of your home or sell all or part of it in exchange for a lump sum or a regular monthly income.

There are a wide range of options and you have to meet certain conditions to be eligible which is why talking to our equity release specialist will help you consider how you can use your housing equity in retirement and make a big difference to your quality of life.

Equity release won’t be for everyone. Our equity release adviser will explain the things you need to think about such as how it might affect your family’s inheritance, your tax position and any benefits you receive. We will review your position, consider the impact upon any legacy you wish to leave behind and will consider its impact upon any state benefit entitlements.

All equity release schemes offered by us meet the  ERC’s standards , the industry body for the equity release sector. The ERC represents providers, lawyers, surveyors, and qualified financial advisers and intermediaries like Odyssey Wealth Management, who are active in the equity release sector. As well as setting standards, the ERC is committed to putting in place safeguards to protect and reassure you, the consumer.
