Lifetime mortgages in Huntingdon

Equity release products, sometimes called over 55 home loans, enable homeowners to access the equity tied to their properties. People aim to access the money tied into their homes for various reasons, often to help them manage their finances in later life. You will always retain ownership of your property.

I am an expert adviser, not tied to any providers, so I am completely impartial and can access the whole market. There are hundreds of products to choose from, and I can search across them to find the right one for your current and future needs with a personalised plan. New products are being released all the time, and I always stay ahead of market developments.

I can also access retirement interest-only and residential mortgages. I am regulated by the FCA. I am a member of the Equity Release Council, which promotes high standards of conduct and practice across the sector.

I will only recommend plans that are Equity Release Council-approved and meet product standards. This means they have a no negative equity guarantee. All initial consultations are completely free of charge without obligation.

I will take time to help you understand the pros and cons of equity release, so you can decide if it is the right path for you. For more details, please call 07768 972861.

Lifetime Mortgages in Godmanchester: Is it the same as equity release

If you are thinking whether a lifetime mortgage is the same as an equity release mortgage, the answer is yes.

Simply, lifetime mortgages are the most popular form of equity release. The other type of equity release product is known as a home reversion plan. I advise on lifetime mortgages only, though I will always explain how the two differ. A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your property, and it has many similarities to a conventional mortgage:

• You retain 100 per cent ownership of your property
• You can move home subject to it being acceptable to the lender
• You can sell at any time
• You can make overpayments

However, the main difference to a conventional mortgage is that you are not obliged to make interest repayments.

Instead, the interest can ‘roll up' over time, and the loan plus interest is repaid when the last survivor either dies or moves into long-term care. Financial commitment and income determine how much you can borrow for traditional mortgages. However, with lifetime mortgages, the age of the youngest applicant and the property's value determines how much money you can borrow.

Usually, the interest rates for lifetime mortgages are fixed for life. Each year you will be sent a statement to see how much is owed to the lender. With lifetime mortgages, you can take the amount released as a lump sum or smaller amounts, known as a drawdown lifetime mortgage.

Interest is only applied to the money that you have released. You will also have the option to pay back some or all of the interest. Please see my FAQs for answers to common equity release questions.
