Equity Release

Expert support when accessing the value in your property

What is equity release?

Equity release involves turning equity in your property into disposable cash.

It’s an option often used by those aged 55 and above as a way of making their retirement more comfortable. It can provide the finances to improve their standard of living, travel, make home improvements or help their children out financially.

The amount of equity in your property is calculated by removing any remaining mortgage from the value of your property.

Being a specialist area of conveyancing law, our experienced advisors are experts in releasing the equity in your property whilst ensuring your finances remain secure.

This is the second time we have had Abbey as our solicitor for moving house, and once again, she has been fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. She gave us complete confidence and reassurance at every stage, knowing that everything was being handled professionally. Throughout the process, Abbey was always contactable and efficient with all of our queries. What we really appreciated was how well she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abbey to anyone looking for a solicitor. She has been brilliant both times we have used her, and we are extremely grateful for all her help and support throughout our move. Thank you Abbey!

Excellent conveyancing service. My solicitor was consistently professional, calm and informative throughout the entire process. They gave me clear advice when I wasn’t sure how to respond to the buyer’s solicitor’s questions, and handled every stage of the sale with confidence and care. They remained patient when my first sale fell through and were very supportive during the second sale... The price they quoted was the price I paid even though it was over two years between quote and sale completion. I’m very pleased with the service and will definitely use them again for future property purchases.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Rothera Bray for the service provided when selling and purchasing my home. I had the great good fortune to have Sade Love and Shelby Richardson as the Conveyancing team for my sale of my home and purchase of my new home. Throughout both Sade and Shelby have provided beyond excellent service, dealing with issues and progressing the process to keep both sale and purchase in sync. Certainly it is true that this can be a most stressful process but Shelby was always at the end of the phone to reassure and explain matters, and Sade as lead, kept us informed and moved the issues and process forward with an expert eye on details. I have no hesitation in recommending Rothera Bray as a fantastic company who provide a great service at a truly reasonable price. Thankyou Rothera Bray and Thankyou Sade and Shelby. Superb.

They kept everything moving smoothly and were always happy to help whenever I had any questions. I’m really pleased with the service I received and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor.

I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they made what could have been a very stressful house sale and purchase feel much easier to manage. Ellie was fantastic throughout the whole process. She was always helpful, responsive and kept us updated at every stage, even when things became a little complicated and stressful towards completion. She took the time to explain things clearly, answered all of our questions and made sure everything was dealt with properly.

Couldn’t have asked for better service. Not for the first time I found Rothera Bray Solicitors excellent in handling the sale of my property and subsequent purchase of another one. In particular Lucy and Karen were always timely, efficient, put up with my queries and questions and accommodated everything that I asked of them. Without hesitation I would recommend the firm for any one that’s selling or buying property.

We had a really positive experience with Sally Simpson at Rothera Bray while buying our new house. She was great throughout the whole process - quick to respond, professional, made everything really straightforward. We felt listened to and kept in clear communication at all times, which really made the whole process feel stress-free. Highly recommended.

As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rothera Bray Solicitors, particularly Joanne Clarke.I appointed them at very short notice after encountering issues with another conveyancing firm, so I was naturally worried about delays. However, Joanne and the team were fantastic from start to finish. Their communication was exceptional throughout the entire process – I was always kept updated, my questions were answered promptly. What could have been a very stressful experience was made so much easier. Would highly recommend Joanne Clarke and Rothera Bray Solicitors to anyone.

We’ve just used Rothera Bray for the sale and purchase of our property. Tim, Nikola and Craig have been excellent- great communication, supportive, knowledgeable and very reassuring. Having worked with a number of solicitors on previous property sales, this team are by far above and beyond anyone else we’ve come across. We had a deadline in mind which they did their best to meet whilst ensuring a diligent and thorough review. We’ve now left the area but will use this firm for any future purchases without a doubt. Thank you.

I have recently used Rothera Bray for my house purchase and sale, and for a financial dispute with my ex partner. They were excellent and reasonably priced on both counts. I was given good advice, they always returned my calls, and on many occasion I was put straight through to my solicitor. I would definitely recommend them, and will soon be using them to write my will.

We have just completed a transfer of equity, and Ellie handled the whole process for us. She was excellent from start to finish. She kept us regularly updated, clearly explained each stage of the process and made sure we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Communication was excellent throughout, and everything was dealt with professionally and efficiently. It made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. We were extremely pleased with the service Ellie provided and would have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you, Ellie, for all your help.

I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Suzanne and her team throughout my house sale. Both Suzanne and Priscilla were professional, quick to respond and kept me up to date on every stage of the process. Suzanne's commitment to progressing matters was evident and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else looking to sell their house.
