As a rule, you can take the money you release in one lump sum, in several smaller amounts on which you’ll pay interest, or as a combination of both.
Equity release mortgages are typically an interest only mortgage which gets repaid when you die or move into long-term care.
You can normally borrow up to 60% of the value of your property. How much can be released is dependent on your age and the value of your property. The percentage typically increases according to your age when you take out the lifetime mortgage, while some providers might offer larger sums to those with certain past or present medical conditions.
All our advisors have the relevant equity release mortgage certification so you know you are in safe hands.
