Warwickshire lifetime mortgages: The facts
The most common type of equity release is a lifetime mortgage. Unlike the other type of equity release, called a home reversion scheme, a lifetime mortgage plan offers a lot of security and flexibility to homeowners. When you opt for a lifetime mortgage, you remain the legal homeowner until you move into long-term residential care or pass away. If it is a joint agreement, then the loan is only repaid from the sale of the property when the last remaining homeowner passes away or moves into a care home. We only use plans that have a ‘no negative equity guarantee’, which means that you will never owe the equity release provider more than the house is worth.
With lifetime mortgages, you also have the option to move home and transfer the mortgage to your new home. There are areas of flexibility with these plans. You may wish to service the interest every month, so the loan does not grow, though no repayments are required, unless you choose to make them. Some homeowners choose to receive a one-off sum of money whilst some plans have a ‘drawdown’ facility, where you can receive money when you need it and you only start to pay interest on the loan once you have the money in your bank account. There are also options where you can elect to receive a regular income, every month, for example. Read our blog: What is a lifetime mortgage?
The other form of equity release is called a home reversion plan, which involves selling part or all of your property to a lender and remaining in the property until you go into care or die. We believe that property owners should retain ownership of their homes and this is why this plan is far less popular.
