Who is eligible to take out an Equity Release Mortgage?
UK residential homeowners over the age of 55
What is "drawdown"?
Drawdown is an option to allow borrowers access to pre-arranged funds. You may not need all the money initially, so you can set up a facility to draw on additional funds, as and when you need, without having to make a new application.
Do I have to make monthly repayments?
One of the main attractions of Equity Release Mortgages is that lenders will allow the interest payments to "roll up".Â
This means that you do not need to make monthly repayments to the lender
