What is a Lifetime Mortgage? Equity release products in Widnes explained
There are two main types of equity release schemes in Widnes, Warrington, or Appleton Thorn – Lifetime Mortgages, where you borrow money against your home and Home Reversion Plans, where Home Reversion Plan providers allow you to sell all or part of the value in your home in return for a tax-free cash lump sum and the ability to stay in your home.
When you or the last remaining homeowner passes away or moves out into care, your home is eventually sold to repay whatever you owe.
Lifetime Mortgages are by far the most popular type of equity release plan. They are available with a huge range of different options. These include:
- Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage: This type of mortgage allows you to drawdown a tax-free lump sum of money in smaller amounts as and when you need them. You do not pay any interest on your reserves, which are essentially funds available when needed, so this will reduce the overall value of the loan.
- Interest-only Lifetime Mortgage: With this type of Lifetime Mortgage, you have the option to pay the interest every month. You can pay some or all of the interest to reduce the value of the loan and to stop the interest from compounding over time.
- Roll-up Lifetime Mortgage: This is a loan secured against your home. The provider gives you a tax-free cash lump sum but you do not have to make repayments on interest or capital. Instead, the interest is rolled up and added to the total loan and it is designed to be repaid when you die or move into care.
With all Lifetime Mortgages, you retain ownership of your property and may benefit from any increase in its value. All products we recommend include a no negative equity guarantee, which prevents you from ever owing more than your home is worth.
