This type of mortgage is suitable for people that are aged 55 and over, the mortgage works by either providing you with a lump sum or income in exchange for part of the value of your home.
This is achieved either using a type of mortgage or selling that portion of your home on the condition that you can continue to live there as long as you wish to. There are two types of mortgages that you can take out to do this with. The first is a lifetime mortgage, this is the most popular type of equity release. You can borrow a lump sum in the form of a mortgage, which is eventually repaid from the sale of your home when you either die or move into long term care. The amount you can borrow is usually between 18 per cent and 50 per cent of the property’s total value typically the older you are, the more you can release.
Then you have home reversion, with this you sell all or part of your property, but with a legal right to continue living in it until you die or move into long-term care. The money can be paid to you either as a lump sum or as regular income. The benefits of equity release can be great, the obvious benefit of this is the money you will receive from it; But also you will be able to take the money out of your property that has added up over time from where house prices have risen over the years.
