Why use Equity Release

Many retirees are finding themselves unable to maintain the lifestyle they wish to as they don’t have the funds to do so. It could be because their pensions are not paying what they thought they would, it could be due to interest rates on savings being so low or simply, because costs have increased considerably.

If this sounds familiar, we could discuss ways to use your property to provide you with an income.

Other ways clients can gain access to their equity

Retirement mortgage

This is a fairly new way of borrowing funds against your property. It is basically an interest only Mortgage for life. You can raise funds for any purpose. To date, our clients have used this to either repay an interest only mortgage or to purchase a property. The amount you can borrow depends on the value of your property and your current and future pension income.

We take our commitment to you very seriously, and we carry out in depth calculations to ensure that your retirement income, will support your monthly repayments as well as ensuring that you can maintain your normal standard of living.

Draw Down Plans

This is where you can take out an initial lump sum and have a further pre-agreed sum of funds for your use, if and when you require. You don’t pay for these funds unless you use them.

Clients who have used this facility tend to do so to top up their monthly or annual income. Alternatively, they use it for the luxuries that they couldn’t afford without having these funds available.

All products carry their own terms and conditions, all of which will be explained to you in detail before you’re committed to any application.
