Equity ReleaseThank you so much for sharing your story. I do see a lot of downsides and uncertainties about this scheme... However, it's being promoted so much nowadays, that it's hard to understand what could be ideal circumstances for using it. I've found this article on the pitfalls of having an equity released, although the website overall is promoting the scheme... In case it could of any help to anyone, here it is: https://sovereignboss.co.uk/equity-release-pitfalls/ViewDate:

Government benefit sanctions what are your thoughts?I'm just really wondering whether an equity release could be an option in this case to figure out life once left out of the job market... Do you have any ideas / experiences to share on this? ThanksViewDate:

Relocating aloneHi Henry. It's actually great to hear you mentioning that you're fortunate. Keep that in mind, always! Our mindset is a lot and of course we all fear change. In my own experience, it's always been hard to make a step out of the comfort zone, but it's been always ALWAYS worth it. But anyways, I hear a lot of talk about equity release and the possibility of not moving out of your house. Have researched that? I'm also looking into it and seek and advice, if you've heard anything meaningful... Thanks.ViewDate:

Hello I'm a newby hereHi Kevin. Hope you're doing great with everything you've planned. I have been considering equity release since recently and just trying to get people's opinions here and there. Have you proceeded with selling / downsizing your house? If you have a minute, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks.ViewDate:

Equity ReleaseI know this thread is a bit aged, but it has some very precious comments on ER. Do you think anything has changed since 2017 and maybe the ER has now become a worthy option? As we're considering taking it now, by head is quite busy researching all of details and gathering as much as I can feedback... Would appreciate to hear your thoughts on it.
