DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A SECOND HOME OR BUY TO LET PROPERTY FROM WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO RELEASE EQUITY?
You may have a mortgage on a buy to let property or second home which is coming to an end. Most lenders would expect this type of loan to have been repaid by the time you reach age 75.
You may wish to raise additional funds on this property, either for home improvements, debt consolidation or just to enjoy life. If so, why not consider using a lifetime interest only mortgage?
We have access to a lender who will allow you to release funds on second homes and buy to let properties with all interest payments being added to the loan. The lender would not expect the mortgage to be repaid until the eventual death of the second of you or unless you choose to sell the property earlier.
All interest payments, although added to the loan can still be offset against rental payments from a taxation point of view and any equity taken out of the property could also assist in reducing capital gains tax liabilities.
By utilising a lifetime mortgage on your second home or buy to let property, you would not have to make any repayments but would also still retain the full benefits of any rental income you may receive.
When a lifetime lender assesses the amount of loan available to you, they base this entirely on your age and the value of the property, whereas most buy to let and second home lenders would penalise you if your income was not at a sufficient level or the rental income does not more than cover rental payments.
