A Brief Introduction to Equity Release Schemes and How They Work
Post War Baby Boomers can now give themselves a whole new lease of life through an equity release scheme. These recently retired home owners are often house rich but cash poor due to lack of good pensions and the ever rising cost of living.
Equity Release Explained
Equity release is the most common name used for schemes that release money locked up in a retired home owner’s property. The term ‘Equity’ means the amount of cash value that could be realized on the sale of a property. Cash strapped retired home owners are often house rich but cash poor during various stages of retirement. Soaring living costs that out strip inadequate pension provision is the main factor that affects the quality of life and even the basic essentials, for what should be retirement golden years for many post war baby boomers. When children grow up and leave home, some retired home owners with large properties are able to trade down to a smaller lower value property and release the cash (equity) in their larger house. However trading down may not be an option for many, as their existing property may not be large enough. Perhaps they simply do not wish to move for many reasons such as emotional attachments, close proximity of relatives and friends etc. So what are the alternatives to trading down? With the exception to selling your home and renting another property, there are two other ways to release the money locked up in your house.
Different Types of Equity Release Schemes
Broadly speaking, these two different types of equity release schemes are often known as ‘Life Time Mortgages’ and ‘Home Reversions’. Basically a life time mortgage as the name implies, is a mortgage for life. There are many variations on this theme with fixed rates for life, interest rolled up and draw down schemes, to name but a few. The main feature of the lifetime mortgage is that ownership of the property is retained together with the benefits of increased property values. When the house is sold, the lender is repaid and the balance is retained by the home owner or their estate. The other type of equity release scheme is known as ‘Home Reversion’. Essentially this is a way of selling your property at a discounted price for the lifetime right to live virtually rent free. The term ‘Reversion’ may appertain to the fact that the property ultimately reverts to the investor that provided funds to the home owner. The benefit of this scheme is that more money can often be released through a reversion plan than a Lifetime mortgage, particularly for older home owners. Again there are many variations on the theme, such as a part reversion, whereby only a portion of the property is used to provide funds. To learn more about equity release it is essential to access a good equity release guide.
