What is a Lifetime Mortgage?

A lifetime mortgage is a form of equity release loan that is backed by your property and allows you to release tax-free cash without having to sell it. The typical amount you can borrow is usually between 18 per cent and 50 per cent of the property’s total value. Usually, the older you are, the more you are able to borrow.

Homeowners from over age of 55 can get a lifetime mortgage. You have the option of receiving the funds in one single payment or in a series of instalments. You don’t have to make any payments until you die or enter into long-term care.

The amount you owe will grow with interest, but you can often minimise it by paying off the interest as you go (this is known as a ‘interest paying mortgage’). You’ll have a ‘interest roll-up mortgage’ if you don’t pay off the interest as you go. Because the interest will compound over time, you will end up paying more altogether. This is something that our advisors can help you to understand on a case by case basis.

Why you might use a Lifetime Mortgage?

A lifetime mortgage could be beneficial if:

 

  • You want to pay off an existing mortgage.
  • Make home modifications.
  • Give money to a family member.

“Mike made discussing a Lifetime Mortgage extremely clear and easy to understand. He took his time to explain, and help both myself and my Grandmother (the client) understand the pros and cons of the lifetime mortgage solution.”

Mr R Thompson, Haywards Heath

Are there different types of Lifetime Mortgage?

We offer a series of different Lifetime mortgages including a Flexible Lifetime Mortgage or Optional Payment Lifetime Mortgage.

Every individual has different needs and we are here to help. Get in touch with Mike Oliver, our Lifetime Mortgage specialist to discuss it further.

Am I eligible for a Lifetime Mortgage?

To be eligible for one of our lifetime mortgages, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must be at least 55 years old.
  • You must own (or be in the process of purchasing) your own house, with little or no remaining debt.
  • Depending on the type of property, your home must be worth at least £70,000 or £100,000.

As with the majority of Financial products there are Pros and Cons depending on your own criteria which can sometimes be tough to figure out. IF you need support in understanding the pros and cons of a lifetime mortgage, then drop us an email, or give us a call.
