Lifetime Remortgage Specialists On Your Doorstep
For many homeowners, setting up a lifetime mortgage, which enables equity to be released from their property, is an ideal way of boosting a retirement pension pot, funding home improvements or paying for a trip of a lifetime, without having to downsize or make monthly payments on a more traditional bank loan, especially with interest rates so low.Here at The Financial Planning Group we have been advising our clients regarding the availability of newer, more flexible, methods of borrowing – by demystifying lifetime mortgages and equity release products – we can offer strategic benefits when considering Inheritance Tax exposure or in helping a family member on to the property ladder.And with an office in the heart of Teddington, we are right on your doorstep whenever you need the right advice.

What is a lifetime mortgage?
We all want to enjoy a new lease of life in retirement, but having enough money to pay for bigger plans on top of the everyday essentials can be tough. If you’re looking for a way to fund your retirement dreams without having to move, you could consider releasing equity from your home.
A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home, it’s a type of equity release. The loan, plus interest, doesn’t have to be paid until the last borrower dies, or moves out of the home into longterm care. There’s no need to make monthly payments and you won’t have to move. A lifetime mortgage comes with a “no negative equity guarantee”, which means you or your estate will never owe more than the property is sold for (subject to the product’s terms and conditions).
Myth Busters
- You can’t lose your home
- Negative Equity guarantee – you will never owe more than the value of the property
- You can move home – your lifetime mortgage can move house with you
- You can pay interest so the debt does not increase
- Inheritance protection – you can protect a percentage of your property to leave to you beneficiaries
- Repayable on death or admission to long term care
The interest rate you take out will be fixed for the lifetime of the loan, and this can’t be changed. Taking out a lifetime mortgage is a big decision, so to ensure you understand all the features and benefits, you won’t be able to buy a lifetime mortgage without financial advice.

MORTGAGES
Independent Advice
One of our biggest advantages is that we are qualified to give you advice. This is really important – many call centres and high street bank employees work on a non-advisory basis. This means they can give you as much information as you want about the products but cannot give you any advice about how this would relate to your particular situation.
