Important things to consider
If you wish or need to vacate your property in the future without purchasing another property, for example, if you need to move into rented accommodation or long term care, then our agreement will provide that, after a period of a year the property will be sold and you will receive the proceeds attributable to the percentage of the property which you hold with us receiving the balance. You may however, at any time, decide to sell your property and end the home reversion arrangement by simply paying us back the percentage of the market value equal to the percentage which we own.
Under a home reversion plan you will cease to own that part of the property sold to the Equity Release Trustees Ltd, so you will neither benefit from any increase in the value of the part of the property that you no longer own nor will you be able to leave this part to your beneficiaries on your death.
