Desmond O’Hara
Welcome to Access Equity Release. We offer specialist advice about equity release for homeowners aged 55 and over in Chiswick, Gunnersbury, or Kew. Many people want to know more about equity release and whether it is the right choice for them either now or in the future. We can explain exactly how it works and its impact on you and your family. We can also discuss alternatives, like residential mortgages or Retirement Interest Only mortgages.
As a homeowner, it is likely that you will have seen the value of your property increase over the years. Equity release is a process that allows you to release some of that value, or equity, to generate a lump sum of money, ongoing instalments of money, or both. As independent equity release brokers we are not limited to certain products and we can search across the whole of the market to find the right equity release products for you. Our approach is friendly, personable, and transparent, and we are always open to advice and questions at any time.

Lifetime mortgages and the main types of equity release near Gunnersbury
There are countless equity release products that revolve around three main types of equity release plan:
- Lifetime mortgage: This works in a similar way to a residential mortgage. A loan is taken out and you use the value of your home, as security for borrowing the money. One big difference is there is no need to make interest repayments (unless you want to). The loan, plus any interest, is repaid from the sale of your house when you die or go into long-term care. Read more on our blog: How can a lifetime mortgage help you in retirement?
- Lifetime drawdown mortgage: This is the same as a lifetime mortgage but instead of receiving the money in one lump sum, you can take out smaller amounts of money when you need it. Interest is only charged on the amount of money that is borrowed.
- Home reversion plan: These are the least popular equity release products and the provider purchases either a percentage of or all of, your home. You can stay in the property as long as you wish, rent-free. When the home is sold, the money that is equal to the percentage that the provider purchases, is taken by the provider, with any remaining money going to your beneficiaries. The younger you are, the less money you are likely to receive from this plan.
