Retirement mortgages in East Sussex and West Sussex
A lifetime mortgage is a loan taken out against your property. The loan, plus any associated interest costs, is paid when the property is sold. This is typically when you die or move into long-term care. If you wish you can receive a lump sum of money or a lower amount with the option to drawdown – or take out more money – as and when you need to. This means you will only pay interest on the money you have borrowed.
There are various types of lifetime mortgages. Two main ones include:
- A roll-up lifetime mortgage: You can take either a lump sum or are a regular monthly amount and get charged interest, that is added to the loan. You will not need to make any regular repayments unless of course you want to.
- An interest-paying mortgage: You can receive a lump sum of money and make monthly or ad-hoc payments to reduce, or stop, the impact of interest rolling-up. Some plans also allow you to pay off capital if you choose to.
With an equity release mortgage that meets the requirements of the Equity Release Council, you will never owe more than the value of your home, so you will never leave your family with debt. See a case study of how a client made the most of their retirement with equity release.
