How Lifetime Mortgages Work

A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against a home, allowing homeowners aged 55 and above to access tax-free cash from their property while continuing to live there. This can be a complex area, and the loan size will vary depending on property value, the homeowner’s age, and sometimes health, so it pays to seek professional advice.

As a member of the Equity Release Council, Jane Jackson Financial Solutions recommends products with a ‘no negative equity guarantee’, meaning you’ll never owe more than your home is worth. Jane does not deal with home reversion plans, which are a type of equity release alternative.

Some benefits of taking out a lifetime mortgage include tax-free cash, retention of homeownership, no monthly payments, and a no-negative equity guarantee.

The interest from a lifetime mortgage will compound over time and is added to the loan, with the total repaid once the property is sold. This means you retain full ownership of the property and can live in your home for life. While it may reduce the inheritance money, it may also offset any inheritance tax your children will face.

When considering a lifetime mortgage, different options are available, including lump sum releases, drawdown facilities, and interest payment options. It is also worth noting that early repayment charges may apply. To gain the complete picture of what’s available, you can discuss all options during your initial free consultation.

How Clients Use Their Lifetime Mortgages

The reasons for choosing a lifetime mortgage can vary, depending on many circumstances. Some of Jane’s clients made the decision to use their new mortgage to fund:

Home Improvements Icon

Home Improvements

Kitchens, bathrooms, accessibility adaptations, roof repairs, heating systems

Healthcare

Private medical treatment, home care, mobility equipment

Family Support

House deposit gifts, education funding, wedding contributions

Lifestyle

Holidays, hobbies, car purchases, home maintenance

Debt Consolidation

Clearing existing mortgages, loans, or credit cards (which must be carefully considered).

If you prefer to have no monthly repayments and have limited retirement income, a lifetime mortgage may be a better choice than a retirement interest-only mortgage.

Making Financial Decisions Responsibly

Think carefully before securing debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

A lifetime mortgage is not suitable for everyone, and it is important to seek financial advice before taking any action. All other options available should be explored before choosing equity release.

Interest is charged on both the original loan and the interest that has been added. The amount you owe will increase over time, reducing the equity left in your home, potentially to nothing. Please discuss with your family and beneficiaries.
