    The what now? It's like saying "Neighbour got mortgage, we can't sell our house now". Makes no sense whatsoever.

    What exactly is stopping you from selling your house? Is it freehold?

    Our neighbour has equity release - and we cannot sell our house because he does...!!!!!!!!!

    I think you need to add a bit of explanation or context.

    Agreed:T

    I can't see how someone else's finances could impact back on you.

    At a guess, they possibly want/need the neighbours to sign something, but the equity release company aren't consenting to it. But that's the same as any other lender, or the neighbours themselves, refusing to sign. Nothing to do with equity release per se.

    Ah, I see the update makes it as clear as mud. Thanks for that.

    I have never needed a neighbour to sign anything when I've sold a house! But I must admit that I'm intrigued
