What is a lifetime mortgage? All about equity release mortgages in Bradford
The most common type of equity release product is called a lifetime mortgage. A lifetime mortgage lets you release equity from your home in a lump sum of money. You do not need to make any repayments so the interest can be added to the mortgage monthly to ‘roll up’ over time. This is then paid off when you move into long-term residential care or pass away. There are also products that allow you to pay off some or all of the interest if you wish to avoid it rolling up.
The other type of lifetime mortgage is known as a drawdown lifetime mortgage, which lets you release an initial amount of money, while also creating a reserve of further funds that you can release as and when they are needed. Interest is only added to the amount that you access.
- Tax-free lump sum of cash or smaller amounts to be spent as you wish
- Continue to live in and own your home
- No negative equity guarantee
- Choose to make a monthly repayment of interest if you wish
- Low interest rates are fixed for life
