In the UK the problems involving the
lack of pensions in the UK will affect us all sooner or later, but
it is already a big problem that needs reviewing for millions of
retired and retiring people in Briton. Is equity release the answer?
From research and reality checks
undertaken very many pensioners are today managing on a small
pension and limited savings, with savings rates ever more unreliable
too to provide additional income. They are also quite often living
in properties which, even with any house price fall, have soared in
value over the medium term. The average house price in England and
Wales is now a lot more than its value 10 years ago, to see the
latest official figures you can click to www.landreg.gov.uk/houseprices
the great Land Registry site. This is why equity release is now
becoming very, very sought after and to arrange a sound plan you
need an appropriately qualified equity release adviser.
Equity release mortgage plans
sometimes called lifetime mortgages - home reversion or home income
plans – are a way of releasing cash, often for important changes
to your home to make living more convenient by way of home
improvements, or simply to make daily life more comfortable with the
additional income provided. These equity release mortgage schemes in basic form provide you
with money borrowed against the value of your home, with the aim
that the debt is repaid from the sale proceeds after your death.
But how do
these Equity Release Plans work?
There are a fair amount of equity
release mortgage schemes these are different in many ways in providing lump sums and or regular income for
you, they roughly are arranged on the same basis, an equity release provider
advances you on a percentage of your properties value in return for
a share of the equity proceeds of your home when you die.
To arrange an equity release plan on the whole you
need to be at least 60 years old, have little or no outstanding
mortgage (alternatively you will need to repay your mortgage from
the plans proceeds), with your property being on the whole in
satisfactory repair. All of these boxes ticked you are ready to
discuss formally arranging an equity release mortgage.
