EQUITY REVIEW
Equity only matters if borrowing power and lender policy support it
Your property may have grown in value, but that does not automatically mean all equity is usable. Lenders look at valuation, current loan balance, borrowing capacity, repayments, loan purpose, and policy requirements. Domium helps you estimate the position, compare lender options across 30+ lenders, and review the loan structure before you move forward.
What to review before releasing equity
POSITION
Property value and loan balance
Estimate property value, current loan balance, loan-to-value ratio, and what equity may be available.
BORROWING
Borrowing power
Equity alone is not enough. Income, debts, repayments, expenses, and lender policy still need to support the loan.
PURPOSE
Loan purpose
Lenders may assess the reason for releasing equity differently, depending on the purpose and supporting documents.
STRUCTURE
Repayments and structure
Review repayment impact, offset options, split loans, interest settings, and long-term flexibility before changing the loan.
LENDER POLICY
The right lender can change how equity is assessed
One lender may limit equity release while another may support a stronger path. Domium compares lender policy, repayment impact, loan purpose, product features, and servicing across 30+ lenders. Start with a digital equity estimate, then move to a personalised specialist review when you want sharper guidance.
