The dramatic falls in property prices over recent months have left many homeowners in negative equity – in other words, owing more on their mortgage than their property is worth.
The Financial Services Authority certainly agrees that negative equity is a real problem. It states that as many as one in five households could face negative equity by the time the market bottoms out, with an estimated overall fall in prices of 30% from their 2007 peak. These figures mean that some 2.5 million loans will be in excess of the value of the property against which they are secured. ...

Equity release schemes are usually targeted at the elderly, as a way of generating capital from their property, whilst being able to continue to live in their home.
There are a number of different ways of releasing equity on your home, but the most popular are either a longer term mortgage or a home reversion. A home reversion is where the homeowner sells all or part of their property to a reversion company and gets either an annual return or cash lump sum.

Remortgaging is basically a process that allows a person to switch the current mortgage from the existing lender to some new lender. Remortgage or the fresh mortgage repays the existing lender and at the same time provides the borrower with an opportunity to raise supplementary funds at lower rates of interest than the existing mortgage. Remortgaging is in fact a wonderful option for those who wish to lessen their monthly payments, raise ample amount of capital or release equity in their house....

The Bank of England has, to date, failed to respond to pressure to cut rates and decided at its meeting on 4 October to keep interest rates unchanged at 5.75%. For home owners, the rises that have taken place during 2007 have increased their mortgage repayments dramatically – a good reason, say some experts, to look at cutting interest rates before we reach economic meltdown and the market crashes.
