What is smartER?

The equity release and later life lending market is rapidly changing as more lenders and products join this evolving market. Equity release is more complex than a residential mortgage, hence its important that consumers have the tools to conduct their own research – importantly being able to use them in their own time and without pressure.

With over 600 product versions, and rates constantly changing, keeping upto date and making sure you have the best deal has been impossible on your own – until now. smartER now provides access to the finer details about releasing equity, that before now, has only been available to equity release advisers.

Designed and built by advisers who have listened to consumers needs, smartER has taken years of development, liaison with lenders and employed the latest technologies.

Now, without having to rely on an adviser to conduct your research, we have put the power of research into the hands of the homeowner. smartER provides access to products across all four later life lending products – lifetime mortgages, retirement and retirement interest-only mortgages and home reversion plans.

Many websites have equity release calculators that just provide generic results which aren’t accurate or personalised - smartER changes all that.

By answering a few personal details, smartER then securely finds deals that are available based on this criteria. All results provided include the exact interest rate and amount you can borrow, a quote and apply request, plus the option to contact an adviser whenever you're ready.

smartER is here to empower the homeowner. We've put you in control and able to talk through your options with confidence you before engaging with your local Equity Release Supermarket adviser.
