Equity release complaints typically involve: interest compounding faster than expected, reducing inheritance significantly; early repayment charges when moving to care; being locked into a high rate before better products were available; and family disputes over reduced estate value. Since 2004 all Equity Release Council members must provide a no-negative-equity guarantee and the right to remain in the property. The Financial Ombudsman Service handles unresolved complaints (FCA, Equity Release Council, FOS, 2026). |
