Equity Release in Dorset
What Is an Equity Release in Dorset?
Equity release is a financial product that allows homeowners to access the equity (or cash) tied up in their homes while they continue to live there. There are two main types of equity release: home reversion and lifetime mortgages. With a home reversion plan, the homeowner sells a percentage of their home to a provider in exchange for a lump sum or regular payments; Barrett Mortgages does not advise on this mortgage. With a lifetime mortgage, the homeowner borrows money against the value of their home. The loan gets repaid plus interest when the property is sold or the homeowner dies. Additionally, it is important to consider the impact on inheritance, as equity release plans can reduce the amount of money passed on to beneficiaries.
Benefits of a Lifetime Mortgage
There are several benefits to a lifetime mortgage:
It provides a lump sum of cash that can be used for any purpose, such as home improvements, paying off debts, or funding a dream vacation.
It does not require monthly payments, so homeowners can use the cash as they see fit without worrying about making regular payments.
Interest on the loan is typically rolled up and repaid when the property is sold or the homeowner dies, so it does not affect the homeowner’s cash flow.
Many lifetime mortgages come with a “no negative equity guarantee” which means that the amount borrowed will never exceed the value of the property, even if the value of the property decreases.
However, it’s important to consider the long-term impact on inheritance. We can tell you everything you will need to know about this.
