Equity Release Calculator
Find out how much you can release
The calculator below enables you to get an idea of what may be available based on your age and property value. This is, however, a basic calculation and only an indication of the offer.
Please remember: if you are a couple, use the youngest age in the calculator.
All the Lifetime Mortgages we recommend are from lenders approved by the Equity Release Council
We only recommend lenders approved by the Equity Release Council. This means we are unbiased and work for you and you alone. You are our client, not the lender.
Choosing a plan recommended by us means:
We have worked together to establish your needs and suitability for equity release
We will look at all of your options, including alternatives such as Retirement Interest Only mortgages, downsizing, financial help from family, etc.
We will have considered all the features, benefits and potential drawbacks of the options available to you
We will typically recommend the ‘lowest cost to borrow plan’, unless you have specific requirements or features from other plans
If you have surplus income, we will work with you to determine whether making payments back to the lender could mitigate the effects of compound interest, although monthly payments are not required
You will still own 100% of your home
All money released is tax-free
We're here to help!
The flexible features of a Lifetime Mortgage
There are many features available with a Lifetime Mortgage. It is our job as advisers to establish your needs, learn more about you and your objectives, attitudes and perspectives to raising funds.
Everyone is different. It is very likely that there will be a product suitable for your personal circumstances, but we need to understand you first in order to make the right recommendation.
Examples of features can include:
Lump Sum or Drawdown, based on when you want to fund particular objectives
The option to make voluntary payments towards the interest, whether partial or in full
Inheritance guarantees - 'ring fence' a portion of your home's value as a guaranteed inheritance
Taking the mortgage to a new property, subject to criteria, if you decide you would like to move
The choice to receive your released equity as a defined income over a period of time
By looking at the whole of market with hundreds of plans available from the different lenders, we can help you tailor your equity release to suit you and meet your objectives in later life.

'No-Negative-Equity' Guarantee
Here at Renaissance Finance, you will benefit from what is known as the 'no-negative equity' guarantee. This is a guarantee given by all lenders who are members of the Equity Release Council. It ensures that if the amount you owe after you die or enter long-term care is more than your home's value, the excess will be completely written off.
