FAQ’s
What is a lifetime mortgage?
A Lifetime mortgage provides older homeowners with access to tax free capital which you are able to spend as you wish whilst retaining full ownership of your property. There are no repayments required during your lifetime unless you choose to, and the amount available to you will depend on your age and the value of your property.
For a lifetime mortgage there is no repayment date or set term, the loan plus the interest continues until the plan comes to an end which is typically when the owner moves into full time residential care or passes away. Once this happens the property is sold and the funds are used to repay the original sum borrowed, plus any interest that’s accrued.
