Equity Release Advice

Later life lending is an area of specialist later-life lending that allows homeowners aged 55 and over to access tax-free cash locked in their home, and there are no monthly payments to make either.

Lifetime Mortgages

A lifetime mortgage is a way to release tax-free cash from your property whilst retaining ownership. Interest can be rolled-up or serviced.

Will Writing/LPAs

Later life borrowing can affect your estate, therefore it’s advisable to review your Will and conduct further estate planning, such as Lasting Powers of Attorney.

Whole-of-life cover and Private Medical Insurance

A whole-of-life insurance policy pays your family a lump sum of money should you die, to help ease their financial worries. Personal and Family Private Medical Insurance is the ideal way to safeguard the health of you, your partner or spouse, should you become ill and need treatment.

You will be referred to our trusted partner, Kevin Bates, owner of Medic Healthcare.

Why Frog Equity?

To be able to give our clients advice, Craig has undertaken rigorous studying to pass the specific mortgage and later life lending qualifications, as well as ongoing intensive on-the-job competence monitoring of every case he advises on.

Greg and the team at Frog were very helpful in organising a mortgage for my slightly complicated situation and in offering various ways to optimise my borrowings. We found the one lender in the market who would lend on my criteria. We got there in the end and without them I doubt I would have been able to proceed with my purchase.

I have not used a financial advisor before, so when looking for a local company I was drawn to Frog Financial Management; they had many recommendation in the local Facebook group. The experience I had from start to finish with my remortgage was nothing short of excellent. Greg contacted me the day after completing the online form, and was transparent and knowledgeable in advising me in the best mortgage for me and my financial goals. I will definitely come back to them for advice on other products in the future and will recommend them without reservation to my friends. Thank you!

We can’t rate Greg and his team highly enough for all the support and guidance they gave us while going through the process of buying our first home. We started with little knowledge of the process and were well supported the whole way through. Communication was excellent throughout and any questions were answered quickly and in detail. We would highly recommend for any first time buyer. Thanks team!

Greg came up with ways to borrow more money that I wouldn’t have known about, and has potentially opened up new avenues of earning for me as well as securing my next home. It’s been interesting working with the team on two types of mortgages as well. I questioned why I have to pay for the service if the lender also pays, but the detail, handling and situation-changing advice has meant I haven’t regretted the fee. I will probably or possibly be back again for more mortgages and advice later on too. The team couldn’t be more polite or quicker to respond. If in doubt, this is one service that is worth the fee.

We’ve been really impressed with how helpful and responsive Ruth, Greg and Fiona have been throughout the process. They managed to get our mortgage application turned around within a week, which was fantastic. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, and they always took the time to answer everything clearly and patiently. What we appreciated most was that they were never pushy regarding additional services and how to approach situations — they gave us all the information we needed to make our own decisions, which is rare and really refreshing nowadays.

Gracias a Danni West ( Frog Financial Management ), pude asegurar mi casa en Inglaterra pues, Danni, muy cortés y profesionalmente, me puso en contacto con una compañía de seguros inmobiliarios que, se interesará a ofrecerme un seguro ya que, Yo vivo en España por lo tanto, soy un propietario ausente y según parece esto es un impedimento para muchas aseguradoras.Estoy muy agradecido con Danni por su invaluable ayuda, ha sido una gran experiencia.

Frog has provided a great service to me and my partner as we arranged our first mortgage.As FTB, it is a daunting process, with a lot of questions from us on the hows, whens, and whats. Greg made this less so, answering all questions clearly, and helping us to understand things. Not only this, Frog helped us to find the best rate available to us.Lastly, Greg & Danni helped us to understand which personal insurance policies were best for us, taking the time to explain in layman's terms how each one could benefit us (or not), depending on our needs.All in all, Greg & Danni have been a valuable part of our mortgage journey, and I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Had a great experience with Frog with our recent remortgaging after being recommended to them by Frosts in Amersham.Greg was extremely knowledgable and made a daunting process significantly easier - he was friendly, extremely clear and answered any questions or concerns we had throughout the entire process.Greg really listened to our circumstances and it was clear he wanted an outcome for us that fit our needs, there was never any sense of trying to upsell or push us towards something that did not fit our needs and we reached an outcome we were extremely happy with.Greg’s approach was extremely fair and it was clear that Frog Financial is far more interested in building a lasting relationship ship with their clients. I would not hesitate to approach Greg and Frog Financial again and will absolutely be using their services again when we come to our next application!
Grey was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!! He was so fun, let us have aux and made us feel so comfortable and showed us around the area and gave his favorite recommendations!! Will be calling him all week!

Busting those equity release myths and FAQs

Common myths and misconceptions about equity release are sometimes based on stories about older home reversion products. Do you have concerns about equity release based on what you’ve heard in the past?

But what do you know about it? There is a whole load of ifs, buts and uncertainties around this type of mortgage. So, Frog Equity are here to help you pull apart the facts from the fiction – and bust those equity release myths you might have heard.

New lifetime mortgage plans are quite different from these old schemes and have improved greatly; it’s crucial to understand how they work.

Can I repay some or all of the mortgage early?2022-10-31T09:20:32+00:00

Yes, but if you pay back some, or all of the loan early (more than 10%), you may be subject to an Early Repayment Charge (subject to lender criteria).

What happens with the mortgage interest?2022-10-31T09:20:15+00:00

Interest on a Lifetime Mortgage is calculated daily and added to the amount you owe each month. This means that the amount you owe will quickly increase over time, reducing the equity left in your home.

Can I gift money I release from my home?2022-10-31T09:19:46+00:00

Yes, but if you gift some of the money to family, they might have to pay Inheritance Tax in the future.

How is my home’s value assessed?2022-08-16T07:46:01+00:00

Your property will be valued by an independent Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), so you can be confident of an unbiased opinion of your property’s worth.

What happens when I pass away?2022-10-26T17:04:01+00:00

Your home will be sold once the last joint owner has died. The sale proceeds will be used to repay the amount you owe and any money left will go to your estate.

Can I take out equity release if I still have a mortgage?2022-08-16T07:45:10+00:00

Yes, however, you will need to repay the mortgage using the money released. Any surplus funds are yours to enjoy.

Can I still leave an inheritance for my family?2022-10-30T18:51:02+00:00

Yes, you can. Some of the plans available guarantee a set percentage of your home’s value, at the time your plan ends, will form part of your estate for you to pass on to others via your Will. The inheritance you leave will be reduced.

Who handles the legal side of the process?2022-08-16T07:44:41+00:00

An independent solicitor will need to be appointed to handle the legal side of the process for you. Frog Financial Management want to make sure you are comfortable with your decision, so can recommend solicitors with equity release experience for your consideration.

What do people usually use the money for?2022-08-16T07:44:27+00:00

People spend the tax-free cash they release for many different things – some of the most popular are travel, home improvements and repaying existing debts.

Can I Purchase a new home?2022-08-16T07:44:13+00:00

Yes, equity release can be used to move home to purchase a new property or even a holiday home. So, you could sell your current home and move to a bigger property. Cash from your current property along with the equity you release from the new home can give you enough to purchase your new home

Can I move house?2022-08-16T07:43:59+00:00

Yes. With our Equity Release Council approved plans your plan can be transferred to a new home (subject to criteria).

Will I ever fall into negative equity?2022-08-16T07:43:43+00:00

No. All plans are approved by the Equity Release Council and come with the no-negative-equity guarantee, meaning you’ll never owe more than your home’s worth.

Will I still own my own home?2022-10-26T17:03:43+00:00

Yes, with a lifetime mortgage product, which is the most common type of equity release, you will still retain ownership of your home, flat or property and can continue to live it in until you die or go into long-term care.

Is equity release safe?2022-08-16T07:43:02+00:00

Equity release is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority whose primary role is to protect consumers and enhance the financial market’s integrity. Expert advice is required before you can take out a plan.

Do I need to be aware of anything else?2022-10-31T09:24:51+00:00

Yes, releasing equity may impact your entitlement to means-tested state benefits, should you be in receipt of them.

This is a lifetime mortgage. To understand the features and risks, please ask for a personalised illustration. Check that this mortgage will meet your needs if you want to move or sell your home or you want your family to inherit it. If you are in any doubt, seek independent advice.
