Types of equity release in Stoke Mandeville

Broadly, there are two equity release options in Stoke Mandeville, Aylesbury, or Stone – lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. The most common form is a lifetime mortgage, which is redeemed at the end of your life.

With a lifetime mortgage, you take out a mortgage secured on your property provided it is your main residence, whilst retaining ownership. If you wish some of the value of the property can be ringfenced for inheritance purposes. The loan amount and any interest that has accrued is paid back when you pass away or move into long-term care.

There are several differences between lifetime mortgages and residential mortgages. These include:

  • Term of loan: With a lifetime mortgage, there is no fixed duration, whereas residential mortgages are normally fixed for a certain amount of time.
  • Monthly repayments: Unlike a residential mortgage, there are no monthly repayments required unless of course you wish to
  • Interest rates: Lifetime mortgages have a fixed interest rate throughout the term, whereas residential mortgages have a variety of options, including fixed and variable terms.
  • Interest charges: With a lifetime mortgage, interest can ‘rolled up’, meaning there is no need to make monthly payments unless you wish to
  • Affordability: There are no affordability checks with a lifetime mortgage.

    Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about equity release.

    With a lifetime mortgage – the most popular type of equity release plan – you will always remain the owner of your property. A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home.

    To be eligible for equity release you must fall into a handful of criteria. These include: You must be over 55; you must be a homeowner and own property in the UK; and your property must be worth a minimum of £70,000. The minimum age and property value will vary between product providers.

    Yes, an interest-only lifetime mortgage allows you to make monthly repayments. As long as you keep up with these payments, the amount you owe will never increase. Unlike conventional mortgages, the interest rate for lifetime mortgages can be fixed for life.

    Releasing equity from your home will not affect your state pension, but could affect other means-tested benefits that you may receive in retirement, including pension credits, council tax benefits, and savings credit.

    Equity release is based on your property and age and as long as you meet the eligibility criteria, your credit history will not affect your ability to take out an equity release plan.

    No, not if you do not want to. With a lifetime mortgage, there are typically no monthly repayments to make as the loan, plus rolled-up interest, is repaid when the plan comes to an end.  This is usually when the mortgage holder passes away or moves in to full time care.  If there are two mortgage holders then this happens when both have passed away of moved into care.
