Equity Release and Social Care

What happens to the Equity Release if I need social care?

Care at Home

• If you require care at home, then your equity release scheme will continue.  Nothing has changed and you are still free to stay.

Moving into a care home temporarily for respite (i.e.  give your carers a break).

• As above, your equity release scheme will continue.  Nothing has changed and you are still free to go back home.

Moving to a care home permanently

• Usually the equity release lender would expect you or your family to sell the property.
• Unless, the equity release was done in joint names and somebody else is still living there in which case the equity release scheme will continue.
