Green

After years of saving and hard graft, currently lucky enough to own a property worth £850,000 with no mortgage. Looking to try to raise some capital from this equity but unsure of the best way. What would you suggest? I have limited understanding of the finance world and am looking for a few pointers so I can research a bit more ! Thanks in advance ! :)

    Green?

    How you raise money is pretty much based on;-

    - your income
    - your credit history
    - the purpose of the borrowing.

    If you fancy giving us some more information, helpful responses are more likely.

  • Good credit history, no debt.
    Income c £100,000 but no disposable income.
    Was hoping to be able to take a chunk of equity out put it somewhere else and get some kind of income back from it.

    So you want to borrow this money to purchase a rental property or invest in paper assets?

    Please clarify what you mean by "no disposable income."

    The income may well be eaten up by servicing the debt.
