Anybody heard or used this lending company. Looking into releasing equity and this company was suggested to me by a "sourcer".
Any ideas if it's legit or any reveiws/experiences.

In my opinion, equity release if often the last resort of the desperate. In many cases it is not a suitable product. As you sure that this is a route you want to go down?1

Plus I'd prefer to buy in the UK where houses are cheaper yet rents are more expensive.
My idea was release or get a loan against the house for say 40k. Added to my savings I could buy a house outright for around 80k. No mortgage just have to repay the 40k loan.
Might just sit on my hands and save for another 12 months and assess then0 -
Equity release is a form of mortgage. Therefore if you are unable to get a normal repayment mortgage, you may not qualify for equity release. The issue with equity release is that payments are suspended and interest compounds. Therefore, over time, they are incredibly expensive.
I would interested to know where you live if houses are more expensive than the UK yet rents are cheaper.Retireby40 said:Ebe_Scrooge said:Retireby40 said:MEM62 said:In my opinion, equity release if often the last resort of the desperate.

The same value of house in my home town in the UK rents for around £625-650.0 -
That 625-650 figure won't be pure profit though surely, what is the profit margin on this ?0
