What Type of Plans are Available?
At Apply Mortgages, we are able to offer a range of later-life mortgage and equity release products to suit your needs and individual circumstances.
Retirement Interest Only Mortgage (RIO)
A Retirement Interest Only Mortgage (RIO) is an affordability-assessed, interest-only mortgage with an open term. Borrowers are required to make monthly interest payments, and there is a risk of repossession if these payments are not maintained.
Lifetime Mortgage
A Lifetime Mortgage is the most popular method for releasing equity. Homeowners retain full ownership of their property and have the right to reside in it for life. Funds are released at a fixed rate, and payments are voluntary.
Home Reversion
Home Reversion plans involve selling a percentage of your property ownership for a cash lump sum or regular income, while retaining the right to reside in your home. You effectively become a tenant in your own home, responsible for its upkeep. This option does not incur interest as it is not a loan, but it does require the surrender of property ownership. Please note: We do not offer personalised advice regarding home reversion. The information provided is for general purposes only and does not constitute financial or professional advice.
