How you could release cash without selling your home</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/equityrelease/landing_page.asp" target="_blank"&gt;Why you should be thinking about Equity Release&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;Your home can be your most valuable possession and investment, but many people are ‘asset rich and cash poor’- living in a valuable property, with little or no &lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/mortgages/landing_personal.asp" target="_blank"&gt;mortgage&lt;/a&gt;, but getting by on a relatively low income and no cash reserves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/equityrelease/landing_page.asp" target="_blank"&gt;Equity Release &lt;/a&gt;is a means of getting hold of a cash lump sum to pay for repairs or adaptations to your home, or you may want to raise some cash to help your children or grandchildren. You may still want to enjoy your annual holidays or invest in &lt;a href="http://http/www.hansonwealth.co.uk/spainpropertypurchases/" target="_blank"&gt;property overseas&lt;/a&gt;. Turning some of the value of your home into cash can help pay for any of these things.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;If you have been retired for some time you may find that your income and savings do not meet all your financial needs. Your day-to-day living costs may have gone up while your income has stayed unchanged, or gone down. &lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/equityrelease/landing_page.asp" target="_blank"&gt;Equity Release &lt;/a&gt;may provide a solution.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:black;"   &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/equityrelease/index.asp" target="_blank"&gt;Qualifying for an equity release scheme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;The main condition relates to your age - different companies offering these schemes have different minimum ages. The qualifying age for some schemes is 55, but many require that you are older - 65 or 70.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;You need to own your own home and will normally have paid off any previous mortgage. (Sometimes a small outstanding &lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/mortgages/landing_personal.asp" target="_blank"&gt;mortgage &lt;/a&gt;may be cleared as part of one of these schemes.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;The property may have to be worth a minimum amount - the minimum property value varies from scheme to scheme but is usually at least £80,000. The property will also need to be in a reasonable state of repair.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hansonwealth.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;Hanson Wealth &lt;/a&gt;are an independent company and will search the whole market for the best product to meet your needs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;color:black;"  &gt;We can offer expert, unbiased and professional advice on all areas of financial planning.
