Lifetime mortgages and other equity release schemes in Yorkshire
To be eligible for a lifetime mortgage, you need to be a UK homeowner, aged over 55. The money you release can be spent in any way you like and there are typically no monthly repayments to make, although this is an option if you wish to service the loan. You may stay in your home for the rest of your life until you decide you want or need to move, or you move into long term residential care. We have access to lifetime mortgages from the whole of the market and will always source the most appropriate mortgage for your individual needs.

Lifetime mortgages, sometimes called over 55 home loans, offer a number of benefits. Instead of making monthly repayments, the interest accrued on your lifetime mortgage is rolled up. This is known as compound interest and the loan, plus the interest, are re-paid when the plan comes to an end. Interest rates are low and there are plans available where you can choose to pay off the interest. There are many flexible features, including the option to receive the money in a lump sum or to access a ‘drawdown’ facility, where you can receive the money in smaller instalments. The other type of equity release products are home reversion schemes but these are far less popular.
