For those aged 55 and over a lifetime mortgage can be a good way to release equity from their home without having to move house. Over the last few years there has been an increase in the number of lifetime mortgage plans entering the market, which has not only provided borrowers with more choice and flexibility, but during this time rates have also fallen. Those considering a lifetime mortgage should be aware that it could have a long-term impact on finances and, as such, they should consider speaking to an independent financial adviser to help them decide whether it is the best option for their individual circumstances. As well as this, for those who are planning to take out a lifetime mortgage plan speaking to an equity release broker could help them choose the best plan for their needs.
