A lot will depend upon the actual wording of his equity release clause as to what will happen. Has he been told they want £6500 or has he been asked to
attempt to release this amount ? Are his terms "Remortgage or extend the term" or "Remortage,
secured loan or extend the term" ? Does he agree that there is £6500 equity there anyway ?
Best scenario is possibly to be unable to remortgage and not be requird to get a secured loan ---- so get a 12 month extension. Assuming 12 payments are less that £4,500 ..... then he offers the 12 payments as a lump sum (from a third party).
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
