Could equity release give you the freedom for you to do what matters most?


Here at Key Equity Release, we're dedicated to helping you enjoy a fulfilling, worry-free retirement by finding and recommending the right plan to meet your individual needs.

After years of working hard to make monthly repayments, your home might be your biggest asset, especially with the increase in average UK house prices over the last 20 years. Downsizing is an option to free up cash; however, this could mean the emotional wrench of leaving your family home and neighbourhood.
 
Meanwhile, people are living longer and many are struggling to make ends meet on their retirement income, let alone having anything left over for life’s little luxuries once the bills are paid.

An equity release plan allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access some of the tax-free cash tied up in the value of their home. Key have helped more than 1 million people decide if equity release is right for them or not, giving us a unique understanding of the questions and concerns you may have about equity release.

If you’re considering releasing money from your home, then you probably already have a good idea of how you’d like to spend it. It could be for a trip of a lifetime or home improvements, to clear debts or support loved ones - and this could influence the type of plan that suits your needs.
 
If you want the money all at once, then you could opt for a lump sum lifetime mortgage. If you want to take out an initial amount then release further funds as and when you need to, you might choose a drawdown lifetime mortgage. Whichever way you choose, with our product range, guided by Key’s 20 years’ experience, you can be confident we’ll find the plan that suits you.

Things to consider

Our specialist equity release advisers search our entire product range to find the right equity release plan for you. They’ll explain:

 
  • You have to get advice before releasing tax-free cash from your home - please read all our information and make sure it’s right for you
  • Key Equity Release offer lifetime mortgages only, which is a loan secured against your home. It will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits
  • All of our plans meet the Equity Release Council standards and come with several protections, including the no negative equity guarantee, which means you’ll never owe more than your home’s value
  • You should always think carefully before securing a loan against your home
