Each claim is different depending on the circumstances of the equity release, meaning that the loss suffered as a result will also be different. That’s why it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what you can claim. But, generally, you will be entitled to be put back into your pre-scheme position. This means that you and your estate (if matters come to light after you have died) may be able to reclaim some of the money you lost in the process of taking out the equity release.
