If you are aged 55 and over, own a home of your own, whether you have a mortgage or not, and that home is worth at least £70,000, you could be eligible to take out an equity release plan.
In taking out an equity release plan, a homeowner will have the option of releasing a portion of your home’s value, as a tax-free lump sum, or in a series of smaller payments that can be taken out over a specified duration.

This top-level service is backed up by having an efficient team of case managers, who are there to make sure that your equity release plan is put in place as quickly and efficiently as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.
You will find that there are two main types of equity release in Harrogate – the lifetime mortgage, which will be available to homeowners aged 55+, and the home reversion plan. (which will involve selling all or part of your home).
Your trusted and dedicated later life mortgage advisor in Harrogate will review your case in-depth, looking at your present and past circumstances, as well as your plans and goals for the future. This allows them to decipher whether or not equity release in Harrogate is right for you, or if perhaps an alternative would be more appropriate.

A lifetime mortgage in Harrogate will allow you to release money from the value of your home, free from tax, whilst letting you maintain 100% ownership of the home and the ability to stay there for as long as you live.
Typically speaking, a lifetime mortgage in Harrogate will be repaid from the sale of your home after you have died or have moved permanently into care (with two borrowers this will only apply to the last survivor).
In more recent times, a lifetime mortgage in Harrogate will generally be much more flexible than they used to be, including options for homeowners to make voluntary payments, monthly interest payments and even port the mortgage to another property.
To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Equity Release may come in the form of a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan.
A lifetime mortgage may impact the value of your estate and it could affect your entitlement to current and future means tested benefits. The loan plus accrued interest will repayable upon death or moving into long term care.
A home reversion plan involves selling all or part of your home to a plan provider in exchange for a tax-free lump sum.
If you believe that taking out an equity release plan could be the best step for you, then you must be fully aware of all the options, alternatives, advantages and disadvantages involved with such a topic.
By booking a free mortgage appointment with one of our trusted later life mortgage advisors in Harrogate, a member of the team will be happy to look at your case with you. They will help you to understand the process and your options, as well as the effect taking a lifetime mortgage in Harrogate, could have on state benefits, tax and the equity left in your home over time.
We always like to encourage our customers to involve their family members or any other trusted individuals they have, to support them through every step of their later life mortgage process, being present at every meeting that has taken place.
In addition to this particular side of our service, we are also more than happy to work alongside any financial advisors you are working with, as well as accountants or solicitors who are involved in any of your financial planning decisions.
If you happen to take out a lifetime mortgage in Harrogate, any existing mortgages or loans that you have secured on your property will have to be repaid.
Any interest that has been accrued throughout your lifetime mortgage must be paid back, along with the amount that has been released, upon death or an instance where you have to move into long-term care.
Taking out a lifetime mortgage in Harrogate will almost certainly reduce the amount of equity that is available within your property, meaning there will be less for you to leave as an inheritance or to use for the payment of care fees in later life, if this ever becomes something that you need.
If your mortgage is set up the right way, equity release in Harrogate should have zero effect on your tax position or any of your benefits. That being said, everyone has a different set of circumstances, and a later life mortgage advisor in Harrogate will need to have a more complete overview of your situation, in order to provide you with the most accurate advice.

If you find yourself not nearing the conclusion of your mortgage term, there’s still the option to explore a lifetime mortgage. This allows you to extract a portion of your equity to settle the remaining balance of your existing mortgage. It’s worth noting that this may impact your affordability, given the substantial financial commitment involved. Consequently, it could impose limitations on the amount you are eligible to borrow.
Let’s begin by underscoring the distinction between unsecured and secured debt. Secured debts, such as mortgages, are tied to assets like your home. On the other hand, unsecured debts, like personal loans, lack collateral tied to specific assets. In situations where individuals need to cover the expenses of unsecured debts, they often opt for Equity Release as a means to address these financial obligations.
If you’re considering home improvements, a lifetime mortgage might be the optimal solution. Alternatively, you could explore a standard remortgage to release equity, contingent upon your specific situation. At Harrogatemoneyman, our committed mortgage advisor in Harrogate can assess your individual and financial circumstances to determine the most suitable option for you.
Here are some prevalent home improvements that individuals often pursue with the assistance of Equity Release:
1. Home offices
2. Conservatories
3. Garden enhancements
4. Extensions
5. Interior improvements
6. Garage upgrades
If directing your equity towards home improvements isn’t your preference, you have the flexibility to allocate it for more personal endeavours. Some may choose to use the funds for a holiday, a new car, or even a wedding.
We strongly recommend consulting with one of our experienced mortgage advisors in Harrogate, equipped with extensive knowledge about Equity Release and Lifetime Mortgages, to guide you through the best options suited to your individual needs.
