Releasing equity in Cumbria: A property overview
Boasting miles of countryside and fresh air, as well as a choice of busy city life or country living, Cumbria is a popular choice. Considered one of the safest places to live in the UK, it is home to two national parks: the Lake District and part of the Yorkshire Dales.
According to Rightmove, the majority of property sales were terraced homes that sold for an average of just over £150,000. Semi-detached houses sold for an average of £194,000 and detached properties for an average of £340,000. The average property price was over £218,000. In 2020, prices had grown by 10 per cent from 2019 and 13 per cent from 2018.
Some areas of the county fetch much higher prices, including areas in Windermere and Ambleside, where the average property price exceeds £1million.

Lifetime Mortgages and different types of later-life mortgages in Carlisle or Cumbria
Are you thinking about equity release in Carlisle or throughout Cumbria? There are two main types of equity release plans: Home Reversion Schemes and Lifetime Mortgages. Lifetime Mortgages are the vastly more popular type of equity release and these are split into Lifetime Mortgages and Drawdown Lifetime Mortgages.
Our professional equity release advisors will be able to identify the most suitable equity release plan for your circumstances. Lifetime Mortgages could provide a tax-free sum that enables you to retain ownership of your property. The loan, including any rolled-up interest, is repaid when the last surviving applicant moves into long-term care or passes away.
A Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage allows you to drawdown the money in stages following an initial lump sum. There are Lifetime Mortgages with different features available including the ability to pay off the interest, so it does not roll up over time.
Home Reversion Plans are the other type of equity release scheme. Home Reversion Plan providers purchase some or all of your property in return for a cash lump sum. There is no interest to pay and you can live in the property as long as you like until you die or move into care.

Advantages of retirement mortgages in Cumbria
As with all financial products, there are big advantages and our advisors will be able to talk you through the benefits and drawbacks of any equity release scheme. Every client that we work with is different and will have different financial circumstances as well as goals.
The reasons people choose to release equity are wide-ranging and include everything from paying for holidays and home improvements to boosting retirement income for everyday living costs. Some people choose to give a ‘living inheritance’ to their children or grandchildren, so they can give them the money to buy a home or pay for education costs while they are still alive.
Equity release can offer great flexibility and allows you to use your hard-earned money in the way that you want.
