Unlock cash in Clapham with lifetime mortgages
Lifetime mortgages are the most popular type of equity release product in Clapham. Lifetime mortgages allow homeowners over the age of 55 to release tax-free funds, tied up in the value of their home. This can be accessed in two ways – either as a lump sum or following an initial release, in smaller amounts of money. This is known as a ‘drawdown’ lifetime mortgage; you can choose a product that works the best for you.
A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your property, which is typically repaid when you or the last surviving partner enters long-term care or passes away. You will retain full ownership of your house and there are typically no monthly repayments to make. The loan plus all interest is rolled up and repaid when the plan comes to an end. There are products available that allow you to repay the interest to reduce the size of the loan if you prefer.
If a lifetime mortgage is something you would like to explore, our advisers can talk you through the different options, so you can make an informed choice. Read our blog on the alternatives to equity release.
