Key equity release features
It’s good to know that the
debt does not rise as fast if
some, or all, of the interest is
being paid (or a capital
repayment is made).
Interest or capital payments can come from the homeowners own income. Their children/ beneficiaries can also provide the funds.
Unlike a conventional
mortgage, homeowners have
no risk of losing their homes if
they do not keep up interest
payments or fail to make a
capital repayment.
Some homeowners are concerned that taking out a roll-up Lifetime Mortgage will
increase their loan over time as the interest on the initial loan accumulates.
But there are two ways that let you pay some (or all) of the monthly interest on the
loan and/or make ad-hoc lump sum capital repayments.
01
You can pay all, or part, of the interest for a fixed period (for example, one year, five years or even up to the lifetime of the loan).
From the end of the interest payment period, the interest on the loan rolls up at the rate agreed at the start of the contract.
If you no longer want to pay the interest during the period agreed, the loan reverts to a roll-up Lifetime Mortgage. Then no further monthly interest payments are required.
02
You can pay a percentage (typically 10%) of the original amount borrowed each year without penalty. There is no compulsion attached to this facility.

At Bower, we will understand your unique circumstances and advise you to ensure you are receiving the best plan to meet your objectives. There are plans that allow you to make voluntary repayments and move home, subject to lender criteria. However, early repayment charges may apply in certain circumstances.
Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage. Any money released, plus accrued interest to be repaid upon death, or moving into long-term care. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and your entitlement to means-tested benefits now or in the future, and impact long-term care funding.
