What is a lifetime mortgage?
A lifetime mortgage is actually one of the most popular forms of equity release which enables you to continue to own your home in full, whilst also releasing a lump sum of tax-free cash against the property value.
There is no requirement to make any monthly repayments as this is all repaid including the interest when you die, move into long-term care or permanently leave the property.
A lifetime mortgage is secured against your property. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration.
Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage. Any money released, plus accrued interest would be repaid upon death, or moving into long-term care.
