What rates do you offer?

Refinancing rates are always slightly higher than your high-street bank's and vary with the need and the borrower. As a guide, as at 9 November 2026, an equity release loan starts from 4% for an individual and from 4.2% for a family holding company; the wealth loan and the security trust from 4.5%, property leasing from 5%.

Do I need to be able to repay my loan?

Yes. As with a traditional loan, you must be able to meet your monthly repayments.

Do you finance companies?

Yes. We work with all types of family holding companies (SCI, SARL, holding companies), trading companies and property professionals.

What is a mortgage guarantee?

An equity release loan is secured by a mortgage registered with a notary on the property. A mortgage is an alternative to other guarantees such as a personal guarantee or a pledge. The guarantee always plays a supporting role and never removes the need to be solvent to repay the loan.

How long does it take to set up?

Once the bank file is complete, allow 5 to 7 weeks until the funds are released by the notary.
