Lump Sum Lifetime Mortgage with Flexible Repayment Option

A new Lifetime Mortgage has been launched by Hodge Lifetime with a Flexible Repayment Option. The Flexible Repayment Option is a first for the equity release industry, making it the only plan on the market where applicants can effectively repay capital and interest. From the first anniversary of the plan onwards, the Flexible Repayment Option can be used to repay up to 10% of the original capital borrowed per annum.

The plan offers applicants the flexibility to increase or decrease the repayments to reflect their ability to contribute. The repayments can be made by cheque, bank transfer or regular standing order.

As an additional feature, the Plan has Downsizing Protection, the aim of which is to give applicants peace of mind that they will not incur any early repayment charges if, after the first 5 years, they completely repay the loan as a result of selling home and moving to a different property. During the first 5 years, they will only pay a fee on a sliding scale from 5% in year 1 to 1% in year 5.
