Releasing the equity – or the value – locked up in your home, can offer the opportunity of a completely different lifestyle. The emphasis in the media is usually on equity release for the retired as a way of boosting pensions and allowing them to live comfortably rather than scrape by on a meagre income. Some of these schemes have attracted criticism as being over complicated and offering the home owner poor value, but equity release arranged through a reputable experienced company is straightforward and available to people of any age so long as they are homeowners.
So what does equity release offer?
In a market where house prices have soared dramatically, home owners who have been on the property ladder for several years have almost certainly accrued a lot of value. But whilst that value is in their home they are unable to use it. Equity release offers a way of freeing up that capital without the need to move out and downsize. Of course, once you have received the value of your home you will need to pay rent to the equity release company, but the money from your home will be yours to do with as you please. This could present the chance to go on a holiday of a lifetime, boost your savings or increase your monthly income. Once you’ve budgeted for your rental payments the equity release will allow you to be free of debt and provide you with a large cash lump sum.
Equity release isn’t right for everyone. If you have just started out on the property ladder and do not own a lot of equity it is unlikely to be for you. However, if you have finished paying off your mortgage, or if you have a substantial equity in your house – even if you still have a mortgage – releasing those funds might give you the opportunity to do things you could only previously dream about. Equity release could even allow you to retire a little earlier than planned and do that travelling you always promised yourself! Whatever your goals, talk to Property Rescue who assure you of honest straightforward advice.
Releasing cash from your property has never been easier. To sell and rent back your own home to Genesis Asset Management.
With sell and rent back, you can release the equity you have in your property without having to move home.
In almost all cases a quick house sale with the opportunity to remain as a tenant results in a cash injection for the owner and rent payments lower than a mortgage.
Remember; you don't need to leave your home just because you sell it. In almost all circumstances, you have the option to become a tenant once the house sale has been completed.
There are a number of reasons why it makes sense to choose Property Rescue:
- Experience
The team at Property Rescue consists of people with experience in finance, house sales, property development and mortgages. Between them they have one of the broadest ranges of expertise you are likely to find.
- Discretion
Everything is done in complete confidence. Unless you tell them, your friends and neighbours won’t know that anything has happened. There are no unexpected visitors, no photographers snapping pictures of your home, no boards outside, in fact nothing to say that you have released equity in your property.
- One-Off Arrangement
Unlike some equity release schemes, Property Rescue offer you all the value of your home at one time. You don’t get a ‘drip feed’ of money over a period of time and nor do you need to change your Will to leave anything to Property Rescue upon your death. Once the transaction is complete, that’s it.
- No Age Barriers
Equity release schemes are often only available to the retired. That’s not the case with Property Rescue. People of any age can release equity in their home, so long as there is not a negative equity situation (where you owe more to your mortgage company than your property is worth).
- An Honest Approach
Property Rescue are a reputable company with years of experience in the property market. They will ensure that you are clear about all the arrangements before you sign any paperwork. They will offer you a high level of customer service and be ready to answer your questions. They understand that this isn’t something you will want to enter into without thought, and – if you wish – they will allow you time to reflect on your decision before proceeding. They will also advise you if they don’t feel equity release is right for you. In short, you can be sure of a top quality service from people who are experts at what they do.
The Equity Release Process?
The process of releasing the equity in your home might sound a bit daunting. It’s understandable if you’re a little intimidated by the thought of a lot of complicated paperwork as well as the need to pay expensive legal bills, but if you proceed with Property Rescue they will do everything on your behalf and won’t make an extra charge for it. That means that the price they offer you for your property is the price you will get – less any outstanding mortgage or loans of course. There are no hidden fees, no upfront costs and no unexpected bills to surprise you when the transaction is complete.
You can release your equity with Property Rescue in just six simple steps:
- You make contact with Property Rescue. This is your chance to ask questions and find out more. No pressure is put on you to proceed and if you decide that equity release isn’t for you, that will be the end of the matter.
- If you decide to go ahead, Property Rescue will arrange for a free valuation to be carried out on your home. They will make you an offer based on this valuation. You are entitled to get a second independent valuation if you wish, but naturally you will have to pay for this yourself.
- Property Rescue will confirm to you in writing how much equity they will offer you for your home. They will also confirm in writing that you will be allowed to stay in your home as a tenant and enjoy all the rights that a tenant normally has; at this stage they will also tell you how much you will need to pay in rent.
- Lawyers, instructed by Property Rescue, will draw up the necessary paperwork for you to sign concerning both the equity release and your new tenancy agreement.
- The lawyers complete the transaction and Property Rescue, acting on your behalf, pay off any outstanding mortgage or loans that have been secured on your property. There are no fees to pay to Property Rescue. The amount remaining after your debts are paid is transferred into a bank account of your choice.
- You begin paying your monthly rent to Property Rescue and enjoy the money that, until now, was tied up in the bricks and mortar surrounding you.
