🔷Thinking of using the value of your home to boost your retirement or help family?
Equity release could be a smart way to free up funds — without having to sell or move out of your home. Whether you want to support your children with a house deposit, fund home improvements, or simply top up your retirement income, this option may be worth exploring.

- What is equity release?
- Who qualifies in Ireland?
- How much can you access?

How does Equity Release work?
Equity release (commonly through a lifetime mortgage) allows homeowners in Ireland to unlock tax-free cash from the value of their home. The best part? You continue living in your property. The loan is repaid only when the home is sold — usually after you pass away or move into long-term care.
🏡 Popular uses for equity release:
✔️ Help your children with a house deposit
✔️ Clear personal loans or credit card debt
✔️ Finance home upgrades
✔️ Cover medical or care expenses
✔️ Supplement your pension income
Eligibility Criteria in Ireland:
🔹 You must own your home outright
🔹 It must be your primary residence
🔹 The home must be in good condition (valuation required)
📊 How much can you release?
It depends on your age. Typically:
🔹 At 65 — access 20–25% of your home’s value
🔹 At 75 — access 35–40%
📄 Documents Required:
- Salary certificate (if applicable)
- Recent payslips
- 6 months of bank and loan statements
- Planning documents (for works exceeding €100,000)
⚠️ Important Note:
Equity release isn’t suitable for everyone. It may affect your state benefits and reduce the value of your estate. Always consult your family and seek independent financial advice.
