Retirement mortgages in East Sussex and West Sussex
A lifetime mortgage is a loan taken out against your property. The loan, plus any associated interest costs, is paid when the property is sold. This is typically when you die or move into long-term care. If you wish you can receive a lump sum of money or a lower amount with the option to drawdown – or take out more money – as and when you need to. This means you will only pay interest on the money you have borrowed.
There are various types of lifetime mortgages. Two main ones include:
- A roll-up lifetime mortgage: You can take either a lump sum or are a regular monthly amount and get charged interest, that is added to the loan. You will not need to make any regular repayments unless of course you want to.
- An interest-paying mortgage: You can receive a lump sum of money and make monthly or ad-hoc payments to reduce, or stop, the impact of interest rolling-up. Some plans also allow you to pay off capital if you choose to.
