It’s never easy when a couple split up, going through a relationship split can be incredibly challenging.
In some cases, an Equity Release Lifetime Mortgage can provide solutions for homeowners aged 55 and over and ease the stress that some people face.
There may be an outstanding mortgage and/or debts that need to be settled from selling the jointly owned property.
This will relieve both parties of these monthly commitments, but may mean that there are insufficient funds remaining for each person to purchase a new property to live in.
In the first instance each person could consider a standard mortgage for the shortfall.
However, if income is a barrier for a standard mortgage, many people don’t realise that Equity Release can be used towards purchasing a property, it’s not limited to releasing equity on a property that you already own.
With a Lifetime Mortgage, the amount you can borrow is based on your age and the value of your property, rather than income affordability.
You can choose to have a plan with no committed monthly payments but have the option to make voluntary repayments if you wanted to, which would reduce the amount of interest that accumulates over time. This means you have flexibility and control of the debt.
