This website offers information about investing and mortgages and should not be taken as personal advice. Remember that investments can go up and down in value, so you could get back less than you put in. Think carefully before securing debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it. Equity Release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to state benefits.
