What is Equity Release?
There are two types, Home Reversion and Lifetime Mortgages.
A Lifetime Mortgage is a way of releasing monies from your property while still retaining full ownership of it. A lender will place a charge over the property (similar to a conventional mortgage) but there is no requirement for you to make any repayments to the lender during the term. The Lifetime Mortgage is designed to continue for the remainder of your life or until you go in to long term care. Throughout the term of the Lifetime Mortgage you will still own your home.
Home Reversion schemes allow you to release equity by way of you selling part, or all, of your home. Whilst you can continue to live in the property it is no longer fully owned but essentially a proportion is leased, albeit rent free.
We only advise on Lifetime Mortgages.
How much can you release from the property?
This can depend on a number of factors mainly the property value, your age and your health. The older you are the more you will be able to borrow. We will be happy to work this out for you.
How do Lifetime Mortgages work?
A Lifetime Mortgage is a loan secured against your property and it is only repaid when the property is sold either when you, or both you and your partner, have passed away, or have moved into long term care.
Very often the Lifetime Mortgage will have a fixed interest rate and when you release equity from the property then interest will start accruing on the full amount from the first day you borrow the monies. If you don’t need all the funds in one go then there is an option to release further funds at a later date, this is called a drawdown facility. This way you will only start paying interest when you drawdown the funds.
some features of a lifetime mortgage
– You will still own your home
– The interest typically accrues, then rolls up and is added to the loan. This is called compound interest.
– You do not need to make any payments to the lender, as the lifetime mortgage amount plus the compound interest, is fully repaid when the Lifetime Mortgage comes to an end. This is usually when the property is sold either on death or moving into long term care.
– With most Lifetime Mortgages you can still make lump sum repayments towards the mortgage to reduce the outstanding balance without penalty (subject to a maximum percentage per year).
– Inheritance Protection is available on some Lifetime Mortgages. This enables you to protect a certain percentage of the property in order that your beneficiaries will inherit a portion of the property value regardless of how long the lifetime mortgage continues for.
– Your estate will benefit from any house price increases that are over and above the outstanding amount you owe to the Lifetime Mortgage provider.
– You can still move your Lifetime Mortgage to another suitable property.
Equity Release Council
We arrange Lifetime Mortgages which have been approved by the Equity Release Council who set down certain standards for lenders to adhere to, these include:
– The right to stay in your home for the rest of your life, or until moving into long term care.
– A ‘No Negative Equity Guarantee’. This means that you will never owe more to the lender than the value of your property at any time.
– The right to move home to another suitable property. Subject to certain criteria being met by the lender.
We are also regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority which means we have to follow strict guidelines to ensure you are getting the best advice.
