Releasing equity in Norwich and Norfolk: Looking at the property market

Many older people living in Norwich and around Norfolk find themselves short of money yet own a very valuable property. Some people may think that their only option is to downsize, but this is not always possible or something they wish to do because they are happy in their home.

When considering equity release in Norfolk, it is important to think about how much your property may be worth. Packed to the brim with charming towns, beautiful stretches of unspoilt coastline, and stunning villages, there is much to love about this county.

In 2020, Rightmove said that the majority of property sales were detached houses that sold for an average of just over £374,000. Semi-detached homes sold for an average of £245,000 and terraced properties for an average of £215,000. The average property price was over £293,000. In 2020, prices had grown by 13 per cent on 2019 and 16 per cent on 2018. The most expensive area to live in Norfolk was listed as Thornham.

Lifetime Mortgages: What are the options with later-life mortgage lenders in Norfolk?

The most popular type of equity release product in Norfolk is called a Lifetime Mortgage and this allows you to release the equity in your home, in the form of a loan. This loan plus any interest accrued is repaid through the sale of your property when you enter long-term care or pass away.

With a Lifetime Mortgages:

  • You will always retain ownership of your home
  • You will never owe more than the value of your property
  • You can move home (subject to certain criteria being met)
  • You can release money tax-free

Lifetime Mortgages work slightly differently to traditional mortgages because the amount you borrow depends on how old you are and the value of your property, and not on how much you can afford.

There are many different Lifetime Mortgages, including Drawdown Lifetime Mortgages, where you can choose to access the money in smaller amounts and only pay interest on the money you have received. This can reduce the value of the loan over time. You can also choose to service some or all of the interest, so you pay less over time.

There are many features available and some products allow you to ringfence some of the money for inheritance purposes. Read our blog: Can I ever be too old for equity release?

Our equity release company can help you plan for the future and make sure you know and understand all the implications of this type of financial product, including the fact it will reduce the inheritance that you leave your beneficiaries and may impact your right to state benefits.
