Available if you are over the age of 55
Lifelong mortgages are a form of equity release. They are a great option if you are over 55 and want to unlock some of the equity in your home.
Life time mortgages enable you to free up some equity in your home. While interest is typically serviced on a monthly basis, you can choose to have no monthly commitment.
Lifetime mortgage explained
As with a regular mortgage, a life time mortgage is secured against your property. What makes this different is you do not have to make any regular monthly payments during your life time. By contrast, you can opt to service the interest through your choosing.
If no payment is preferred, interest accrues on the loan amount. The total is then repaid through the sale of your property, when you pass away or go into long term care. You will always remain the owner of the property until such an event.
Providers will expect you to keep your home in good condition.
