Equity Release is usually for people over 55 but you can get it under 55. Release equity in house under 55 is very popular because of the number of TV ads for equity release. If you want to release equity in house under 55 you could consider selling your home and buying a smaller house or a flat. Avoid the difficult age restrictions that many building societies have with Concise Finance on a case by case basis.

Customer Testimonials

Ms G from Dover

I divorced my husband who was a violent alcoholic. I really feared losing my home as I sometimes look after my daughter’s children. My Equity release scheme enabled me to pay off my ex and stay secure in my home. I looked at home reversion plans and they were not a great idea for me. I needed to get equity release and it turned out well. I am glad I don’t have any mortgage repayments and I still have my pension payments. My credit report is very healthy. I now save money each month.

Mr Williamson from Chiswick

My son is a chef in a care home. He is not well paid. No way his bank would lend him the money to buy a flat. My equity release enabled him to put a substantial deposit down so his mortgage was very small.

My equity release interest rate was close to the interest rate offered by his bank. I got legal advice from my own solicitor. A home reversion plan wasn’t ideal as I wanted to own 100% of my home and get more equity over time.

Sandra from Manchester

I was looking for equity release and I realised I needed to get equity release as I could keep 100% ownership of my home. I got an equity release plan to give money to my daughter to buy a house. Without the money I borrowed, her buying a home would have been impossible. The upper age limit was not a problem.

Mrs Shaw from Lancaster

I had an interest-only mortgage with Birmingham Midshires plus a second charge. The mortgage had come to the end of its term and they wanted the £127000 back I still owed them. My lifetime mortgage saved me from losing my home and the rate was close to what I paid before. The equity released by the mortgage advisor was only a small part of my property value and I had no problems with age limits.

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 years rent in advance for a new flat for the baby. The mortgage brokers help me pay off other debts so I had more cash each money.

The age requirements for smaller amounts ended up not being a problem along with other factors. I have money left after I allocated the loan amount to the priorities.

Mrs M from Birmingham

With no brokers fees and no lenders fees, I got an interest-only retirement mortgage which I pay each month from my private pension. The money released went to my daughter for her wedding and deposit for her next house. She wanted a family, and her flat was too small.

Mrs E from London

My outstanding 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 and I also paid off my personal loans and some legal fees.

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.

What about a Fixed Rate Mortgage?

Most mortgages offer by concise are a fixed rate including our buy to let mortgages. Main residence mortgage options may have restrictive eligibility criteria and the lender may want to see a repayment strategy supported by bank statements and good credit history.

A standard mortgage may have higher repayments or an older borrower by most banks. Different lenders have different mortgage products with completely free valuations and no fees that are a better deal and a more generous agreed period.

To get a mortgage that fits your financial position some regular mortgages might be out of reach with a loan term that does not fit your needs for your ambitions on the property ladder.
