As you approach or maybe settling into retirement you shouldn't be worrying about your financial problems. One way to ease these worries is by the Home Equity Release Mortgage plan. You can release equity in your property and enjoy the following benefits:

  • No monthly payments
  • No Income requirements
  • A series of safeguards and guarantees to give you total peace of mind.

    Do you apply?

  • You must be at least 60 years of age.
  • There can be a maximum of two borrowers only.
  • If you are living with your spouse or partner then the loan must be applied for jointly.
  • Joint borrowers do not need to be married and may be of the same sex.
  • Where there is more than one applicant, the youngest applicant must be aged at least 60 years.
  • In order to confirm your age lenders will require sight of your birth certificate.

For the Home Equity Release Mortgage, the maximum amount that you may borrow is based upon the age of the youngest applicant according to the following scale:

60 - 66: 20% of the equity
67 - 71: 25% of the equity

85 - 88: 45% of the equity
89 and over: 50% of the equity

HERM is a simple and fully transparent equity release solution, structured around a series of important safeguards and guarantees, which will help you to feel confident and protected

1. The Lender guarantees that the borrower never has to pay back more than the open market sale proceeds of the property when the loan is repaid.

2. The Lender guarantees that borrowers can continue to live in their own home until they sell it, move into long term care or die. The Lender will never repossess the property, even if the accumulated debt exceeds the property value.

3. Borrower has freedom to sell property at any time and for any reason, without incurring Early Repayment Charges.

4. You have the option of taking a monthly income or part income/part lump sum to suit your requirements.

Property Criteria:

Most lenders will consider most types of residential properties although the following will apply:

  • The property must be your main residence, in good condition, of conventional construction and have more than one bedroom.
  • The property must not be classed as sheltered accommodation.
  • The property must be worth at least £40,000. There is no top limit.
  • If the property is leasehold, the remaining term of the lease must be at least 80 years.
  • If the property is held for you under a trust we regret that we cannot lend to you or your trustees.
  • The property must currently be mortgage free, or if there is a small mortgage outstanding then this must be repaid either before or at the time that the new Home Equity Release Mortgage begins. You can use the funds released through the Home Equity Release Mortgage to do this.
