How much does equity release cost?

Costs of Equity Release Schemes

Take into consideration that when entering into any type of equity release scheme there will be set-up costs and ongoing costs which can include:

  1. Arrangement Fees payable to the lender
  2. Legal Fees
  3. Valuation Fees
  4. Maintenance costs - you are still responsible for the maintenance of the property
  5. Insurance costs - maintaining adequate building insurance
  6. Loss of income, such as reduced eligibility for means-tested benefits

EQUITY RELEASE (INCLUDING LIFETIME MORTGAGES AND HOME REVERSION PLANS) WILL REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR ESTATE AND CAN AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEANS TESTED BENEFITS.
