The historic market town of Swaffham: Why releasing equity could make sense

Increasingly homeowners over the age of 55 are using equity release to help fund their later years. If you invested in your property in Swaffham some time ago, its price would have risen considerably over the years.

Swaffham is a historic market town between Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn. Historically, it was home to a successful wool trade. Homeowners there can enjoy a busy High Street with a mixture of independent and chain shops and excellent schools. Popular areas include The Campingland and a new development called Swan’s Nest.

Property site Rightmove states that in the last year average property price was over £236,000. Most property sales during the previous year were detached homes that fetched an average of £309,000, whilst semi-detached houses sold for an average of £213,000. Terraced homes fetched an average of £176,000. Overall, prices were up 7 per cent on their 2018 peak.

Lifetime Mortgages and other equity release mortgages in Swaffham or Marham

Our team of specialists can advise clients in Swaffham or Marham regarding equity release mortgages. This option is available to people in retirement who own their property but would like to improve their financial situation.

There are several types of equity relief products, all of which have different features and a number of benefits and disadvantages. Our regulated and independent financial advice includes discussing our client’s individual circumstances and advising whether we believe equity release would be beneficial and appropriate. Equity release is not always the right choice for everyone. However, if equity release could be an option for you, we can research the market to recommend what we consider to be the most suitable option based on your aims and circumstances.

There are two types of equity release products: Home Reversion Plans and Lifetime Mortgages. Lifetime Mortgages are vastly more popular. These are a type of equity release mortgage secured against your home to give you a tax-free cash sum or smaller amounts that you can take as and when required.

There are many benefits to Lifetime Mortgages:

  • You can release tax-free money to spend when you need it to spend as you wish. People choose equity release for different reasons, including to top up retirement income, help family members or use it for home improvements.
  • There are no monthly repayments. Unlike a traditional mortgage, you do not have to repay the loan until you die or move permanently into long-term care. The interest on Lifetime Mortgages is compounded or rolled up over time.
  • You can continue to live in your home and have full ownership. You still may be able to move subject to your new property being acceptable to the lender.
  • You can still leave an inheritance. Some products allow you to protect a proportion of the value of your home for your beneficiaries.
  • All products have a no negative equity guarantee, so regardless of the price of your house and how its value might fluctuate, you will never pay more than the value of your home.
  • You can pay off the interest or make small repayments to reduce the size of the loan.
