I got an equity release to give money to my daughter to buy a house. Without the money I borrowed, her buying a home would have been impossible.

Sophie G from Aberdeen

The financial advisor I’ve had for 25 years said I could save inheritance tax by getting £350,000 of equity release. The money was lent at a very low interest rate, close to 5.19%, and was competitive with standard mortgages you would get by proving income. I have saved a lot of tax.

William from London
My lawyer told me my inheritance tax bill would be around £250,000. I got a lifetime mortgage to give money to my son and daughter so they could buy bigger homes, and we bought a house in the south of France for us all to use as a holiday home.

Mrs E from London

My mortgage needed to be repaid to the existing lender. I thought I was going to lose my house. Thanks to Concise I got an equity release to pay off my mortgage.

Julia A
My mother has dementia. With my solicitor and my power of attorney, I obtained equity release on my mother’s house to pay for specialist modifications to improve her comfort.

David P

With my power of attorney, I got equity release on my father’s house to pay for disability provisions, including a lift and a new kitchen.

Mr G from Kent
I took out an interest-only lifetime mortgage and gave my sons £100,000 each to put down as a deposit on a home. My money made it possible for them to get an excellent mortgage deal, especially one son who is not well paid.

Mrs Daly from Glasgow
My daughter lives in the States and does not have health insurance. My £30,000 lifetime mortgage paid the medical bills for her son to be born and a year’s rent in advance for a new flat for the baby.

Mrs E from London
I was advised to take out an equity release on my East London home to minimise inheritance tax. My son and daughter used the money to pay down their mortgages. The interest rate on the equity release was so low that it was close to their mortgage rate.

Mrs G from Leeds
My daughter is a single mother, and I got a £120,000 lifetime mortgage to buy her a flat outright as she has had a succession of poorly maintained rental flats not suitable for her child.

Mrs L from Nottingham
I had to pay a valuation fee and a solicitor’s fee, but no lender or broker fees for my lifetime mortgage. As I was divorcing my husband of 30 years, the money went to him for his share of the house. I am happy now as I am secure, and I do not need to move from my home.

The 1st and 2nd charge lender will want to know if the property is a Detached freehold house or a Leasehold flat and if the resident is an AST Tenant.
