The Equity Release sector has changed dramatically for the better during the past few years and important advances in product design means that equity release can now be used in a far more strategic way than in the past.
For example, a Lifetime Mortgage can provide a Reserve Fund which allows the homeowner to take “ad hoc” tax free cash amounts on an “as and when required” basis; an alternative to drawing down one large single cash sum. Or the choice could be a regular tax free monthly income for life.
Home Reversion pland also have the ability of providing additional income by way of tax free stage payments.
A recently introduced, innovative, plan caters for those homeowners who have concerns regarding a roll-up Lifetime Mortgage as this means that the size of the loan increases as interest on the initial loan accumulates over time. This new, innovative, plan addresses these concerns by offering the homeowner the opportunity to pay some or all of the interest on the loan. Any amount of interest that the homeowner pays will reduce the size of the eventual debt outstanding.
Equity Release can be used to assist with the purchase of a new home. And, tax free money can be raised from an existing second (holiday) home or from residential investment properties – and without any loss of rental income!
