Your Hampstead property: Why release equity in NW3?
How long have you owned your Hampstead home? Properties in Hampstead, Belsize Park, Highgate, and the surrounding areas have seen huge increases in value over the years, so if you own a home and are aged over 55, you could access some of that money. Equity release is not always the right option for everyone and we can recommend other products including retirement interest-only mortgages and residential mortgages.
Hampstead is well known for Hampstead Village, which has been a magnet for celebrities and musicians over the years, and the Heath, which borders the north and east sides. Best known for its elegant Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture, people love Hampstead for its village atmosphere and close proximity to Central London.
According to Rightmove in 2020, the average house price in Hampstead topped £1.5 million. Flats were the most popular sales and sold for an average of just over £1million, with terraced homes fetching £2.5million and detached homes fetching £5.3million. In 2020, prices were up 4 per cent on 2019 and 5 per cent on 2018.

Key features of lifetime mortgages in Hampstead
There are two main types of equity release products: Lifetime mortgages and home reversion schemes. The most popular type is a lifetime mortgage. Here are some key features:
- All money raised from equity release is tax-free.
- Lifetime mortgages are usually available to those age 55 and over.
- Interest can be rolled up and added to the overall loan, meaning there is no need to make monthly payments. There are products that allow you to pay off the interest to reduce the sum of the overall loan.
- Because no monthly payments need to be made, the mortgage is not underwritten on personal affordability, but solely based on the value of your home.
- Any interest rate attached to a lifetime mortgage product is fixed for life. Read our blog on interest rates and equity release.
- Lifetime mortgages mean you still own your home and you can continue to do so until you move into long-term care or pass away.
- Lifetime mortgage products allow you to withdraw a lump sum at the outset, or you can take out the option of a drawdown mortgage, which means you can access sums of money in the future.
