If you would like to know more about releasing equity from your home in Dorking, Westcott,  Mickleham or locally, our professional and independent equity release advisors are on hand to offer advice and assistance.

Due to house prices increases, many people are sitting on more money within their property and do not want to downsize or move away from where they love. Our equity release advice is always tailor-made around your circumstances and financial goals. As  independent equity release brokers we are not tied to certain products, so we can search across the whole of the market to find the right product for you.

One of these is a no-negative equity guarantee as provided by The Equity Release Council’s Standards, so you will never owe more money than your property is worth.

Lifetime mortgages in Dorking

What is a lifetime mortgage? If you wish to know more about lifetime mortgages in Dorking, our brokers are on hand to go through what these mean and how you can best access a lifetime mortgage that suits you.

Equity release is broadly made up of two different types of products – lifetime mortgages and home reversion schemes. Lifetime mortgages form the vast majority of products and are some of the most popular. This is where a loan is secured against your home. This loan is only repaid when you die or go into full-time care and whilst interest is charged on what you have borrowed, this is rolled-up and can be added to the total loan amount when it is paid off.

    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.
