Recently completed mortgage, equity release and lifetime mortgage cases

RIO

Sophie G from Aberdeen

The financial advisor I’ve had for 25 years said I could save inheritance tax by getting £350,000 of equity release. The money was lent at a very low interest rate, close to 2%, and competitive with typical mortgages you would get by providing income. I have saved a lot of tax.

RIO

Mrs Shaw from Lancaster

I had an interest-only mortgage with Birmingham Midshires. The mortgage ended its term, and they wanted the £127000 back I still owed them. My lifetime mortgage saved me from losing my home, and the rate was close to what I paid before.

Mr G from Kent

I got an interest-only lifetime mortgage and gave my sons £100,000 each so they could put a deposit down on a home. My money allowed them to get an excellent mortgage deal, especially one poorly paid son.

RIO

Mr Williamson from Chiswick

My son is a chef in a care home. He is not well paid, and his bank would not lend him the money to buy a flat. My equity release let him put a substantial deposit down, so his mortgage was very small. My equity release interest rate was close to the interest rate offered by his bank.

RIO

Ms T from Hammersmith

My husband recently died, leaving me with a mortgage I could not afford to pay. The lifetime mortgage allowed me to pay off the mortgage and have enough money left over for a new bathroom, kitchen, and roof repair.

RIO

Mrs L from Nottingham

I had to pay a valuation and solicitor fees but no lender or broker fees for my lifetime mortgage. As I was divorcing my husband of 30 years, the money went to him for his share of the house. I am happy now as I am secure and do not need to move from home.

RIO

Mrs E from London

My mortgage needed to be repaid to the existing lender. I thought I was going to lose my house. Thanks to Concise, I got an equity release to pay off my mortgage.

RIO

Mrs M from Birmingham

With no broker or lender fees, I got an interest-only retirement mortgage, which I pay monthly from my private pension. The money released went to my daughter for her wedding and a deposit for her next house. She wanted a family, and her flat was too small.

My mother has dementia. With my solicitor and my power of attorney, I got an equity release on my mother’s house to pay for specialist modifications for her comfort.
