Lifetime Mortgages (Equity Release)
An Equity Release mortgage is a loan secured on your home. It is available to the over 55’s and can be set up in various ways for instance ‘interest roll up’ where no payments need to be made or some lenders provide ‘optional payment plans’ which mean that the borrower has an option to voluntarily pay the interest either monthly or on an ad hoc basis . These loans are not income assessed but are underwritten on an applicant’s age and value of their property. These loans are covered by the Equity Release Council standards and codes of practice.
These loans can be used in various scenarios with the most common being as follows :
Home improvements
Gifting children or grandchildren
To supplement retirement income
Repaying interest only loans
Repaying unsecured loans or credit cards
Going on holiday
Retirement Interest Only Mortgage
These are relatively new types of residential mortgages. They are in most cases for the over 55’s, they differ from a Lifetime Mortgage in that they are income assessed and the interest only payments will need to be paid on a monthly basis . The loans are open ended i.e. they have no end dates like a conventional mortgage and are usually similar standard products i.e. 5 year fixed deals or tracker mortgages.
Standard Residential Mortgages
As some lenders will now allow standard mortgages up to as high as 80 years of age, some clients may fit these types of loans. These loans will usually need to be set up on a capital and interest repayment basis and a monthly payment must be paid.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend upon your circumstances; however, the maximum fee will not exceed the greater of £1500 or 1% of the loan amount.
