How does Equity Release in Derby work?
Equity starts building up in your home as soon as your start paying off your mortgage. It is calculated by deducting the amount remaining on your mortgage from the total mortgage amount.Â
Equity is essentially just cash. So when you withdraw it from your property, you will receive a lump sum based on the percentage that you took out.
Once you have withdrawn equity from your property, it’s entirely up to you what you spend the money on. As a mortgage broker in Derby, we have seen that some choose to pay off unsecured debts, pay for holidays or gift the money to a family member to use for a deposit to purchase a home.
Helping You Find the Value in Your Property!Â
If you are below the age of 55, you will be able to release equity through a remortgage, however, if you are over 55, it will likely come in the form of a Lifetime Mortgage.
Providing this is your primary residence, you could take out a lifetime mortgage and select a portion of the equity for the future family inheritance. Â
With this mortgage, you don’t necessarily have to pay back your monthly repayments, you could just let the interest build up. The loan only becomes repayable if you pass away, move into long-term care or are declared unable to take care of yourself without assistance.Â
Â
Things to Remember with Equity ReleaseÂ
You will have to meet the criteria before being able to release equity from your home. Your age and property value will be the main factors that affect how much you can withdraw from your home. Â

Popular Options For Equity Release in Derby

Equity Release to Pay Off a Mortgage
If you do qualify, you could take out a lifetime mortgage and use the equity to pay off the remaining balance of a mortgage. You can sometimes do this even if you have not finished your mortgage term.
Your affordability could be affected due to the fact that you have another large financial commitment in your name. It could limit the amount that you could borrow.
Equity Release to Pay Off Unsecured Debts
Secured debt is something that is secured against an asset, such as your mortgage payment to your property. An unsecured debt example would be a personal loan, as it is not secured against any assets.
If you have unsecured debt in your name, you may want to release equity to cover these costs and pay off the debt.
Equity Release for Home Improvements, Modifications or Alterations
It’s not just debts that you can pay off using the equity from your property in Derby, you may want to use the equity to fund home improvements, modifications or alterations.
This works exactly like remortgaging to another deal, however, you will likely be put on a repayment mortgage. We’ve seen applicants choose this route to fund the costs of creating home offices, conservatories, garden improvements, extensions, new living rooms and kitchens, and a new or additional garage.
