Lifetime Mortgages

An Introduction to Lifetime mortgages

Lifetime Mortgages

A lifetime mortgage equity release is a loan secured against your property. This can provide you with a tax free lump sum or a regular income to spend as you wish. No monthly repayments need to be paid unless you choose to. The minimum age is 55.

Interest is added to the lifetime mortgage at a fixed rate. The loan plus interest is eventually paid back when the home is sold, usually when both you and your partner move into long term care or pass away. You can typically release between 20-56% of the value of your home with a lifetime mortgage, depending on your age and postcode.
