Equity Release for School Fees

As standards in state education are so variable, more and more parents today are keen to privately educate their family. Far fewer parents however can afford to cover all the costs involved from income alone.

Independent school fees can vary enormously depending upon the child’s age and the location of the school but on average, the cost for a day pupil is around £7,000 per year. On the whole, school fees tend to increase on an annual basis as the children get older. In addition to fees, there are also other expenses such as meals, uniform, school trips, music lessons etc. These could add as much as a further 10% to the total cost.

If you do decide to send your child or children to a private school, it is a good idea to plan for future years’ fees to avoid disruption to their education in case circumstances change further down the line. If you have some equity in your home, one possible way to help meet the costs of private education for your children could be to re-mortgage and release some extra cash at the same time. It is always worth regularly reviewing your mortgage anyway as you could save money by getting a better deal. There are a great many competitive re-mortgages available at the moment.
