Lifetime Mortgages

What is a Lifetime Mortgage?

A lifetime mortgage, the most popular form of equity release, involves accessing the spare money tied up in your property to fulfil your present financial needs and ambitions including purchasing your new home, when alternative lending options may not be viable.

How does it work?

This solution involves taking out a loan against the value of your property which you can choose to pay back in a variety of ways.

Another option is a Home Reversion Plan, which involves the lender buying part or all of your property for a tax-free cash lump sum.
