"eigen woningreserve

Soms ook overwaarde genoemd, maar de twee begrippen zijn in werkelijkheid niet identiek.

Een eigenwoningreserve ontstaat bij de verkoop van een woning en is gelijk aan de verkoopprijs minus de op dat moment bestaande hypothecaire lening.
Als de eiegenwoningreserve positief is (wat vrijwel altijd het geval is) wordt het desbetreffende bedrag afgetrokken van de hypotheekrenteaftrek.
De regeling vervalt na 5 jaar." (http://www.dfbonline.nl/begrip/12096/eigenwoningreserve )

JurLex:
overwaarde =
surplus value, excess value
(m.b.t. pand) equity

de overwaarde contant maken =
to convert the equity into cash

de overwaarde van de woning omzetten in een hogere hypothecaire lening =
to convert the equity in the house into a higher mortgage loan

de overwaarde van het pand =
the equity in the property

FELOnline:
overwaarde in de eigen woning verzilveren; overwaarde van woningen contant maken =
release of equity in owner-occupied housing
home equity release
release the equity in residential properties
release surplus value in homes
unlock the surplus value in one's home

@Emma: imo JurLex & FELOnline are absolutely indispensable for anyone translating nl-en legal/financial/insurance/business stuff. unless of course you have actual, real-world experience (like right-a-wrong), which I don't.

@Emma: Incidentally, if you ever plan to get JurLex, contact me privately, as I get it every year, but second subscriptions are cheaper, so it's cheaper to get it together.

Het is een specifiek Nederlandse belastingconstructie, geen wonder dat er op het Engelse web niet veel over te vinden is. Ik geef de voorkeur aan de vertaling van JurLex, heb hier nog in mijn eigen woorden een uitleg aan toegevoegd, aangepast op de context (nl. inperking van hypotheekrenteaftrek). Does the job nicely, I should think.

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: http://www.ratepromortgage.com/121-homeowners-equity# Seems more convincing. // Also see reference. // Probably because your name does not end in 'End'. :-)
9 mins
  -> Dank U and thank you. I have eschewed the word reserve.//No. That would be the end of me, with a 'chequered past' in Amsterdam and Friesland.

agree  Michael Beijer: yeah, probably better sans "reserve"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gosh JurLex is pretty amazing, it looks like I might have to invest in it. . . I've been hemming and hawing because it's not my usual specialism, but it is incredibly helpful. . .

Asker: Too late for this particular job unfortunately, so I may have to bug you guys for another dilEMMA or two as I speed full steam ahead towards my deadline ;-) But it's good to learn, through this forum, just how spot-on JurLex is about many of these things, it's making me realise it will be worth investing in.

Asker: That would be fantastic , re JurLex! I will certainly be in touch!

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: number of site:uk G-hits = 1 //De vraagterm is 'eigenwoningreserve', Michael. And 'homeowner's equity' sounds good, is straightforward, is an elegant solution: 'eigen woning' 'home owner'. Really nice.
11 mins
  -> haal die "reserve" gewoon weg bij "home equity reserve" en probeer nog eens. of Google: "equity [tied up] in house" / Barend, I'm not arguing with you. I agree with Adrian.

Reference information:
Homeowner Loans

Homeowner loans or popularly known as simply secured loans are long term loans that subject one’s home equity as collateral. This type of loan is commonly used for big expenses such as home renovation, vehicle purchase, or debt consolidation. Because of the typically high amount of money involved, this loan is repayable between one and twenty five years.
You may be able to borrow between £10,000 and £100,000 depending on your homeowner’s equity. Equity is defined as the homeowner’s total interest in the property as a result of the difference between the market value and any outstanding mortgage balance or secured debt against the property. Before your loan is approved, the lender will have to check for its real value, as well if there are any other loans secured against it. If there is, your interest rates can become higher.
Homeowner loans are also known as second mortgage. This is because the homeowner loan company is second in line to collect debt repayments, next to the mortgage company, should the borrower defaults that would end up in repossession and sale of the property.
