Equity Release Solicitors in Crowborough, Haywards Heath and beyond

Equity release can be a practical way to access money tied up in your property. But it’s a major financial decision – one that requires clear, independent financial and legal advice to ensure your best interests are protected.

Our solicitors specialise in advising homeowners across the South East on the legal implications of an equity release mortgage.

We are proud to be members of The Equity Release Council which means we pledge to adhere to the highest standards of client care.

What is Equity Release?

Equity Release, also known as a lifetime mortgage, allows you to release tax-free cash from the value of your home while continuing to live there. It is typically available to homeowners aged 55 and over and can help with:

• Supplementing retirement income

• Funding care or medical needs

• Helping children or grandchildren onto the property ladder

• Paying off existing debts

• Enjoying later-life plans such as travel or home improvements

What does it mean?

You borrow against the value of your home, and the loan is repaid when the property is sold, usually after death or entering long-term care.

Why Do I Need a Solicitor for Equity Release?

Lending requirements stipulate that you need to receive independent legal advice before committing to any equity release scheme. This ensures:

• You fully understand the long-term implications

• You’re aware of how it may affect your estate, benefits, or tax position

• You are not being pressured into the decision
  

What is the equity release process?

Our experienced equity release solicitors will:

• Review all lender documentation and identify any potential issues which could delay completion

• Provide a consultation to explain the legal process, what to expect and obtain all required information and signatures

• Liaise with your lender's solicitors and financial adviser
  

We can offer fixed fees for most equity release matters and can work swiftly to meet your lender’s timelines.
