Our Lump Sum Lite Lifetime Mortgage
Our Lump Sum Lite Lifetime Mortgage is designed for those who want to release a one-off lump sum without the option to access a pre agreed cash facility in the future. It usually allows your clients to borrow a higher amount than the Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage, but normally at a higher interest rate.
Your client won't need to make any regular repayments on the money borrowed, and will continue to own their home, benefiting from any increase in its value.
How does it work?
The interest payable on our Lump Sum Lite Lifetime Mortgage is fixed at the time the mortgage is taken out, and is guaranteed not to change regardless of what happens to interest rates in the future.
Interest is charged on the lump sum advance, and will accumulate on a compound basis. The mortgage, plus interest is only repaid once your client dies or moves permanently into long term care.
The interest rate on our Lump Sum Lite Lifetime Mortgage is usually higher than the rate charged under our Drawdown product. Clients can borrow a higher amount with the Lump Sum Lite Lifetime Mortgage, which could be invaluable if they need access to the money. But the value of their mortgage will be higher than an equivalent Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage product at the time it is repaid.
