Finance your retirement with equity release

How would an Equity Release change your life? If you are nearing retirement age, chances are that you haven’t thought about the expense of living on a restricted income. All those things you planned to do when you retired, may no longer be possible because of the economic woes we all face. However, there are two possibilities available to you through the equity your home has accumulated over the years. The first is a Lifetime Mortgage and the second a Home Reversion. With an Equity Release Calculator taking into consideration several factors—income, credit score, and credit commitments—your home equity might be enough to do all the things you planned and more.

Through the Lifetime Mortgage, you will be able to secure a loan that will not come due until the death of the last spouse. This type of mortgage carries no monthly payments and the amount available to you and/or your spouse is estimated using the Equity Release Calculator. Just imagine buying a car, taking a vacation, or adding a room to your home without the worry that each purchase will only add to your monthly bills. Another great relief comes in the form of reducing inheritance tax for your heirs. When the last spouse passes away, the heirs will sell the property and pay back the mortgage leaving them with taxes due only on the remaining revenue.

A Home Reversion allows you to sell a portion of your home to a lender and there will be nothing due until the time that the last spouse passes away. Both types of Equity Release programs allow you and your spouse to have the funds to enjoy your retirement years without adding a burden to yourselves or your heirs due to unpaid bills.

The amount you and your spouse owe cannot exceed the value of your home because it will be estimated with the Equity Release Calculator. Although the process seems to be an easy choice, you will want to consult an expert who deals specifically with Equity Release mortgages and reversions. They will look at what you own, what you owe, the value of your home and make an informed decision that will allow you to retire in comfort and free from worry over the rising expenses of today’s economy. Make the phone call today and put you and your spouse on the road to a great retirement with all the benefits you’re entitled to enjoy.
