Lifetime Mortgages refers to a range of products that give you access to the equity, that is the cash that is tied up in your home, or when buying a new property, if you are over the age of 55. The loan, plus interest, doesn’t have to be paid until the last borrower dies or moves out of the home into long-term care. The amount that’s available to you will depend on your age and property value, as well as other factors like health or lifestyle. You can take the money you release as a lump sum or in several smaller amounts or as a combination of both. Money released with a lifetime mortgage is tax free.
There are a number of reasons you may want to consider equity release; to repay debts, help out family members get on the property ladder, lifestyle, cover the shortfall of buying a new property, home improvements or funding care in the home.
