Discussion

Alaa Zeineldine May 29, 2007:
The above is a follow-up to the discussion with Lamis below. There wasn't enough space in the comment area to add more.
Alaa Zeineldine May 29, 2007:
Getting a loan in return for the equity in one's property is the most well known form of equity release. Whether or not that makes mortgaging the equity synonymous with equity release, I do not know.
Hani Hassaan May 29, 2007:
Hi Yusuf, I have found this link, brother, I hope it is useful

agree Randa Farhat : it sounds like وثيقة ملكية قابلة للشطب - أو رهن ملكية قابل للفك

Thanks Randa .. I think the choice of the best translation here depends on whether or not the explanation of the type of mortgage is necessary in the context.
neutral Alaa Zeineldine : The term equity is missing from the translation. Either Zax's or Lamis's translation of equity would do.

استخلاص / تسييل القيمه الرأسماليه

عن طريق قرض أو رهن أو غيرهما.ا
Peer comment(s):

agree Alaa Zeineldine : تسييل is a good rendering for release. It is generic enough to cover the different methods mentioned in Hani Hassaan's link above.

رهن القيمة المدفوعة

I admit that it is not my field, but when you buy a house in the States you keep on paying the mortgage and what you pay (minus the interest) is the equity. When you sell the house, or borrow money, you only get the equity since the bank owns the property until it is all paid for. If you have done any work on the house, it is considered also as equity. So in the text, he got the money which he paid for engineering work done in the house since it was counted as equity. As Abdulrahman said, it is a loan that can go for life.

I see what you mean ِAlaa. I think what I thought of first would be another translation to suggest
استعادة القيمة المدفوعة
This could be for any of the possible ways to use the money.

Thank you so Ms Lamis for your cooperation. I really appreciate it. Yusuf
Peer comment(s):

neutral Alaa Zeineldine : Your description of equity is excellent. Technically, the bank does not own the property but holds a lien on the title until you pay back the balance you owe. Also رهن limits "release" to one method./Please see above, and thanks for pointing out the typo.

You are right Alaa, that is how I understand it too; but I read today many articles online about equity release and all seemed to explain it this way. Again, this is not my specialty, and I am open to learn more about it. Thanks for your input.

equity

In real estate, the financial value of someone's property over and above the amount the person owes on mortgages. For example, if you buy a house for $100,000, paying $20,000 down and borrowing $80,000, your equity in the house is $20,000. As you pay off the principal of the loan, your equity will rise.

equity release

Equity release is a means of retaining use of your house or other object which has capital value, while also obtaining a steady stream of income, using the value of the house.

Equity means the Capital shares, so when it is released that means it is announced for underwriting
