The home equity calculator provides a reliable estimate based on the information you enter.
However, the accuracy depends on the data provided, such as your property’s current market value and the outstanding balance on your mortgage and secured loans.
For a more detailed understanding of your equity, speaking with one of our mortgage advisors is recommended.
The equity in your home is calculated by subtracting the total outstanding debts secured against your property (e.g., your mortgage and any secured loans) from its current market value.
For example, if your home is worth £300,000 and you owe £200,000, your equity would be £100,000.
Yes, it can be possible to release equity from your property, often through remortgaging or securing an additional loan.
This process allows you to access the funds tied up in your home, which can be used for purposes such as home improvements or consolidating debts.
As a mortgage broker, we specialise in equity release options; our mortgage advisors can help you find a solution that suits your circumstances.
The amount of equity you can release depends on several factors, including the value of your property, your remaining mortgage balance, and your financial circumstances.
Typically, lenders have limits on the percentage of equity you can release.
Speaking with a mortgage advisor can help you understand your options.
A secured loan is a type of borrowing that uses your property as collateral.
It can be a way to access funds for significant expenses, often at lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans.
However, failing to repay a secured loan could put your property at risk, so it’s important to consider this carefully.
Taking out a secured loan reduces the available equity in your property because it adds to the total amount owed against its value.
For example, if your property is worth £300,000 and you already have a £200,000 mortgage, a £20,000 secured loan would reduce your available equity from £100,000 to £80,000.
