Hybrid Lifetime Mortgage Launched

Speak to an Advisor - It's Free!

In the landscape of later life lending, a ground-breaking solution is gaining traction, with this being the hybrid mortgage. This innovative product blends flexibility and foresight, allowing borrowers to plan for retirement with a unique approach.

With this hybrid mortgage, the borrowing amount is determined based on the retirement age, yet the flexibility to initiate it earlier, committing to interest payments for 5 to 15 years, offers a strategic advantage in preventing the accumulation of interest over time.

Upon reaching the designated retirement date, the mortgage seamlessly transforms into a lifetime mortgage, presenting optional payments that align with the borrower’s retirement plans.

Look At The Options Available to You

While the hybrid mortgage introduces a dynamic element to later life lending, it’s important to consider the broader spectrum of options available. Standard mortgages provide flexibility for those still engaged in the workforce, requiring regular payments but accommodating varied financial situations.

Retirement Interest-Only (RIO) mortgages cater specifically to retirees, offering a strategy where borrowers pay interest during the mortgage term, and the capital is repaid through the sale of the property.

Equity release, including lifetime mortgages, unlocks property equity without the need to move, allowing homeowners to fund projects or supplement retirement income.

How a Later Life Mortgage Advisor Can Help

Deciding on the most suitable mortgage type requires a comprehensive understanding of individual financial circumstances and goals.

Speaking with a knowledgeable later life mortgage advisor is incredibly important, as they can provide tailored advice, considering factors like interest rates, repayment terms, and long-term financial implications.

The hybrid mortgage is just one facet of the diverse range of options available in later life lending, highlighting the importance of a well-rounded analysis prior to making any informed decisions.

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.
