Manage cash flow by leveraging your equity

Are you feeling the pinch of debt? 

Loading up the credit card is something we see all too often. But have you thought of leveraging the equity in your property?

First, we recommend having your property valued to assess how much equity you have. Post-valuation, you will have a realistic understanding of your equity. Here, you'll know how much you can use to pay your debts. If you have sufficient equity in your property, you might be able to manage your cash flow. 

We can work with you to unlock your equity by consolidating your debt. Paying it down at much lower interest rates. Here's some more information below to see if equity release is the best option for you:

Who can access equity release?
•    For those aged 55+, options like lifetime mortgages or home reversion plans allow you to release a portion of your home's value while continuing to live there.

What are the benefits and risks of leveraging equity?
•    Access liquid funds without selling your assets.
•    Use funds for personal needs, business investment, or debt consolidation.
•    Secured borrowing often has lower interest rates than unsecured loans. A secured loan will likely have a longer term, and so eventually, means you pay more. 
•    But a decline in property or asset value may reduce equity.

What steps are involved?
1.    Evaluate Needs: Assess how much cash flow you need and the purpose of the funds.
2.    Seek Advice: Consult a mortgage broker, financial advisor, or lender.
3.    Compare Products: Look for competitive interest rates and flexible terms.
4.    Understand Tax Implications: Some forms of equity release may have tax considerations. Consult an accountant for advice.
