A Home equity release plan could be one of the best ways of acquiring the money tied up in your property and could be the contrast between a secure, enjoyable retirement and the regular hassle of paying household bills. Equity release loans allow you to project your hard earned income by a substantial amount freeing up all or part of the value of your home. There are three main groups of equity release schemes and within each of these there are many different plans. They are drawdown mortgages, lifetime mortgages, and home reversion plans. Each plan is reviewed below to give you a simple guide of what's attainable. It is always imperative that you talk to an equity release specialist before adjudging which scheme to choose. Lifetime Mortgage These types of equity release plans will give you a generous amount of money in one lump sum from the market price of your property. Although it's secured on your home, there will be no monthly payments to make and it allows you to own and stay in your home for as long as you wish. The sum you have released, plus interest, is reimbursed from the proceeds once your home has been sold when you pass away or move into residential care in your ensuing years. Drawdown Mortgage This mortgage plan is not dissimilar in many ways to a lifetime mortgage but it also offers added adjustability as you can receive your money in instalments. These instalments may be annually, quarterly or monthly. Your independent equity release specialist will be able to give you a much more detailed account of this. Drawdown mortgages will customarily have lower interest payments. Home Reversion Plan These equity release schemes allow you to sell all or a fraction of your property for a tax-free amount of money. Nonetheless, a legal agreement guarantees that you can resume living in your own home usually rent-free for as long as you choose or until you pass away. The amount of cash you will receive will alter with age. The older you are the more cash you will be able to release from your property. Who qualifies for home equity release? Predominantly, you and your partner must be aged 55 or more. The property you own has to be worth £50,000 minimum and you must be able to clear any unsettled loan secured on the property from your equity release funds.
