Are you considering releasing equity in Runcorn: How much equity could you release?

House prices have risen rapidly over the past few decades. A major transport centre for the North East and located on the banks of the River Mersey, Runcorn has become increasingly popular in recent years. With easy transport to Manchester, Chester, and Liverpool, there is a real community spirit and many families.

Runcorn is also set to receive a £23million investment to regenerate the town centre, with the funding expected to be poured into new homes, a revamped station gateway, more pedestrian and cycle-friendly routes, and a new health and education hub.

Property site Rightmove states that in 2021 the average property price was just over £175,000. Most property sales during the previous year were semi-detached homes that fetched an average of £181,000, whilst detached houses sold for an average of £285,000. Terraced properties sold for an average of £115,000. Overall prices were up four per cent on 2020 and 8 per cent on 2019.

What are Lifetime Mortgages, and why are they the top choice for equity release in Runcorn?

Many over 55s have found themselves cash-poor and asset rich. So if you are over 55 and living in Runcorn, you may wish to release the equity in your property. The equity is simply the value of your home minus any loans secured against it. There are several types of equity release plans, and the main ones are Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans.

Lifetime Mortgages are the vastly more popular choice of plan because, with these plans, you remain the legal owner of your property. Billions of pounds of equity are released this way, according to a recent Equity Release Council report.

With Lifetime Mortgages, you can access your money in a tax-free lump sum or use a Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage, where you can access smaller sums of money when needed.

There are some similarities between Lifetime Mortgages and ordinary mortgages, but unlike a standard mortgage, there is no requirement to pay any money back. The loan sum, plus any interest that rolls up over time, is paid when you die or move into long-term care. The interest rate is fixed for life. Some plans allow you to pay off some or all of the interest to reduce the size of the loan over time.

    What is a Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage in Runcorn?

    A Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage is the same as a normal lump-sum Lifetime Mortgage. You can release one amount and create a reserve amount that you can dip into at a later date when you need it. This allows you greater flexibility, and you will not be charged interest on the reserve amount until you access it.

    All the products that we recommend:

    • Have a no-negative equity guarantee, which means that whatever happens to the property market, you will never owe more than the value of your property.
    • You will always remain 100 per cent the owner of your property.
    • You can move home, subject to your new property meeting lending criteria.
