Where this comes from

This is a plain-language explanation of how the term is commonly used in the UK. It carries no source key because it makes no regulatory, product or property claim that needs one. It does not override a provider’s offer, your mortgage conditions, a solicitor’s advice or a regulator’s rules.

Checked 7 September 2026. The whole vocabulary sits on one page, so you can look up two words in the same sentence without going anywhere: see this entry in the full glossary.

A definition, not a guide

This page explains a word. It does not tell you what to do about it, and nothing here is advice about your circumstances. The guides work through the decisions themselves, and an adviser is the person who can answer a question about you.

Does looking up two kitchens commit me to anything?

No. There is nothing on this page to fill in and nothing is collected by reading it. Looking up what a word means is not a decision, and we are not able to advise you about your own circumstances in any case.

Talk it through with an adviser

Takes about two minutesFree, no obligation, and nothing committed

One qualified equity release adviser. They will go through your figures and tell you if there is a better answer. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Advice is required to proceed with equity release and there may be other options which better suit your circumstances. Only if your case completes would an advice fee be payable, and the adviser will tell you what theirs is before you commit to anything. Other lender and solicitor fees may apply.

We pass your details to one adviser and nobody else.
