What is a Lifetime Mortgage in Oxford? Our equity release brokers can tell you more
A Lifetime Mortgage work is the most popular way to release equity. This is a loan secured against your property and is available to homeowners over the age of 55, so they are sometimes referred to as over-55 home loans. With any Lifetime Mortgage, you can continue living and owning your home, but you release some of its value as a cash loan. This is repaid when you enter long-term care or when you pass away.
There are different types of lifetime mortgages:
- A Lump-Sum Lifetime Mortgage involves a loan that is secured against your home. It provides you with a single lump sum of tax-free cash to spend as you wish.
- A Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage provides you with an initial lump sum followed by cash that can be withdrawn in stages. You will only pay interest on the money that is released.
We have access to a full market of products and as well as Lifetime Mortgages, our advisers can tell you about Home Reversion Schemes, which are the other type of equity release plan. We want you to make an informed decision so we can guide you through the various options and the implications of your choice.
