Example Of A Lifetime Mortgage
Emma owns her property outright and has no existing mortgage. The property is worth £300,000. She’s offered a lifetime mortgage of £50,000 with an interest rate fixed at 5%. She takes the £50,000 as a lump sum and chooses not to pay off the interest as she goes. After 10 years, Emma moves into a care home and her house is sold. The lifetime mortgage is now repaid from the proceeds of the sale, and is the original £50,000 loan plus the 5% interest compounded over the 10 years, which is £31,445– making a grand total of £81,445.
Now let’s suppose Emma remains in her home for 20 years rather than 10. The interest would compound over the full 20 years, so would amount to £82,665. This makes a grand total of £132,665 to be repaid from the sale of the house. This would leave £168,000 of equity in the property which after the usual costs of selling a property would go to Emma.
Now, house prices go up and down but according to https://www.nationwide.co.uk/house-price-index/, home values have increased by 115% over the last 20 years, between 2003 and 2023. If (and it is an ‘if) the value of the home increased by 115% over the next 20 years then the property would be worth £645,000. So, when Emma goes into care and sells here property at £645,000, she would be left with £513,000.

Benefits and risks to later life lending.

+ Stay in your home: You'll retain full ownership of your home and can stay in it for as long as you wish
+ Reduced or no monthly repayments: You can make reduced or no monthly repayments with a lifetime mortgage. This applies to a payment-term lifetime mortgage after the oldest applicant turns 66, and overpayments can be made at any time, subject to criteria
+ No negative equity guarantee: You'll never owe more than your home's worth or pass on any equity release related debt to your family, provided terms and conditions are met
+ A payment-term lifetime mortgage: Could allow you to unlock more of your home's value at a lower interest rate than a comparable lifetime mortgage
- The interest can build up quickly: Lifetime mortgages and payment-term lifetime mortgages are loans secured against your home and are subject to compound interest, meaning the amount you owe can grow quickly
- Reduced value of estate: Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits
- Long term financial product: These are long-term financial products and are not designed to be repaid early. If you do, early repayment charges may apply
- Reduced or no property equity: Equity release may leave you with limited or no property equity remaining and will reduce your financial options in the future
- Mandatory payments: There's a period of mandatory payments with a payment term lifetime mortgage, and your home may be repossessed if you don't keep up with these payments
