Equity Release
Lifetime Mortgages
A Lifetime Mortgage involves taking a type of mortgage that does not require monthly repayments. You retain ownership of your home and interest on the loan is compounded or 'rolled up' (although with some plans you can opt to make monthly repayments if you wish).
The loan and the rolled up interest is then repaid by your estate when you either die or move into long term care. If you are part of a couple, the repayment is not made until the last remaining person living in the home either dies or moves into care, meaning that both you and your partner are free to live in your home for the rest of your lives
Lifetime Mortgages account for 99% of Equity Release products.
There are now numerous variations on lifetime mortgages available.
These will include lump sum, interest serviced, drawdown lifetime mortgages and enhanced mortgages, and the market is growing all the time.
If you are thinking about Equity Release, it is vital that you take, fair and balanced advice, so that you, and your family are fully informed.
