Equity Release

Equity release is an option for homeowners over 55 looking to access some of the value tied up in their property. It can offer a source of funds for clients in later life, especially in the capital with its higher property prices.

Setfords’ expert residential property solicitors in London provide clear and independent legal advice on the equity release process. We’ll help you fully understand the risks, benefits and legal implications of lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans – so you can make an informed decision about your future.

“For many people in London, the wealth tied up in their home is their largest asset, but it can feel untouchable. Especially with the city’s high cost of living, equity release is a big decision that deserves careful, unpressurised thought. Setfords provide clear legal advice so you can feel confident and secure in whatever choice you make for your future.”
