Popular ways to release equity: Lifetime Mortgages in Downham Market or Fordham

Equity release is the generic term for any financial product that allows you to borrow against the value of your home.

There are two main types of equity release plans: lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans. Lifetime mortgages in Downham Market and Fordham are by far the most popular form of equity release and total over 99 per cent of all plans taken out. Lifetime mortgages are a form of mortgage, but rather than having a fixed term of years, they run for the rest of your life.

There are usually no repayments to make unless you wish to do so, and some plans include repayments for those wishing to control the future balance. The balance plus any interest that compounds over time is paid back when you pass away or move into long-term care. As the market evolves, lifetime mortgages have become more competitive.

They now have a variety of different features, including the ability to protect some of the value of your property to guarantee an inheritance for beneficiaries. There is also the option of a drawdown lifetime mortgage, where rather than accessing the money in one lump sum, you can draw it when you need it.

Is equity release in Downham Market safe?

Many people may be concerned about the safety of equity release. I am FCA-regulated and a member of the Equity Release Council.

All the plans that I recommend meet ERC guidelines. This includes assurance such as a no-negative equity guarantee, so neither you nor your estate will owe more than the property is worth when sold. Equity release also allows you to move to another property, subject to it meeting certain criteria.

You will always have the right to stay in your home for life.
