How does equity release in Sunderland work?

Equity release in Sunderland is a popular way of allowing homeowners to turn the equity that is within their home, into a released lump sum of cash. Your later life equity release mortgage advisor in Sunderland will take an in-depth look at your current situation, your past experiences and what you are looking to achieve in the future.

Once you have been able to release your equity, you are free to use it as you see fit, with people often using it to pay off existing mortgages, to pay off unsecured debts that they have, to pay for any home improvements they wish to make, as well as things like planned holidays or to buy a new car, to name but a few.

So long as it stays as your main residence, you may be able to take out this type of mortgage, with the option to select some of the equity to be used as a future family inheritance, if you would like to do that.

You could make monthly payments back to mortgage lender, if you really want to, though the more popular choice is to pretty much let interest stack-up. The loan only becomes repayable once you are dead or have moved on into long-term care, unable to live independently.

Equity Release FAQs

What is equity release in Sunderland?

Accordion Arrow

Equity release in Sunderland is a type of later life mortgage that you can have access to if you are an eligible homeowner in Sunderland, aged 55+ and have a property that is valued at least £70,000.

The most popular type of equity release is the lifetime mortgage. This option allows you to release money as a loan that will be secured against the value of your home.

Just like a conventional mortgage, you will keep ownership of your home. It requires you to pay your later life mortgage lender, generally from the sale of your home, after you have either died or moved into long-term care.

Do I still own my home if I take out equity release in Sunderland?

Accordion Arrow

Taking equity release in Sunderland out means you will retain 100% home ownership. When you either die or move into long-term care, the remaining equity that remains will be repaid from the sale of the property and anything that remains will either go to you or your estate.

What are the benefits of a lifetime mortgage in Sunderland?

Accordion Arrow

There are many benefits of taking out a lifetime mortgage including being able to choose what happens to your monthly mortgage repayments. Even though you technically have a balance, many decide to let the interest roll up so that they don’t have to make those monthly payments.

Keep in mind that your home is sold after you die or move into long-term care as a way to pay off the remaining mortgage balance. If you do not make those monthly payments, there may not be anything left afterwards to go towards inheritance, if this was something you planned.

Is there anything else I need to do for equity release in Sunderland?

Accordion Arrow

As well as speaking with a later life mortgage advisor regarding equity release in Sunderland is the best options for you, it is also good to think about any additional arrangements you may need to make for the future.

We do recommend that you talk to your family about equity release in Sunderland making sure your will is updated and that you also have any last powers of attorney in place.

These are all major things to sort out because often it will be your family as beneficiaries (after your death) or attorneys (if you have an impaired mental capacity) who will have to sell your home as a way to repay the lifetime mortgage in Sunderland that you took out.

Equity Release to Pay Off a Mortgage

Accorion Arrow

In the case where you take out a lifetime mortgage, you can release the equity in your property as a tax-free lump sum and utilise it to pay off the rest of your existing mortgage. Usually, you would just let the interest rate build up over time.

Your affordability can be impacted by lifetime mortgages. This is due to the fact you have a substantial outgoing (your current mortgage), so a lender may be warier of the amount they are lending to you.

Equity Release to Pay Off Unsecured Debts

Accorion Arrow

Secured debts are debts that are valued against an asset (like your mortgage valued against your house). Examples of unsecured debts include personal loans, credit cards etc. This type is not secured against a specific asset.

If this is something you are interested in, contact our team.
