Extra pension income with the equity release mortgage through DGA The Hague

Do you own a home with equity? And would you like additional financial flexibility? With the equity release mortgage (also known as a home equity mortgage) you can release part of the value of your home without selling it.

How does it work?

01

Decide on the amount

You decide how much you want to release: as a lump sum or as a monthly payment for extra income.

02

We assess your options

We look at the value of your home and any existing mortgage to determine how much you can release.

03

An additional mortgage alongside your current one

The equity release mortgage is an additional mortgage. You can take it out alongside your current mortgage, regardless of which bank holds it.

The advantages at a glance

You receive an amount of your choice: as a lump sum or month by month
You do not have to sell your home
You continue to live in your home and remain its owner
The loan is only repaid on sale or on death
No residual debt: you never repay more than your home is worth
