If you are a Home owner aged 6o or over why not borrow the funds you require on an interest only basis over a 40 year term at low interest rates?
This would mean that if you were to borrow, for example £60,000 you would pay monthly interest payments based on a mortgage of £60,000 which would currently cost in the region of £150 per month. The overall cost for comparison is 3.7% APR. The actual rate available will depend upon your circumstances. Ask for a personalised illustration.
Halifax would not expect the loan to be repaid either until the eventual death of the homeowner(s) or if you chose to sell the property or repay the loan earlier.
It means that the amount you borrow will neither increase nor decrease so that you can rest assured that your loved ones will inherit the eventual value of your property less the amount borrowed.
If you already have an existing mortgage and are possibly under pressure to repay this at some stage in the future, this could be incorporated into the new mortgage.

If in the process of re-mortgaging you consolidate other non secured debts into your mortgage, you should be aware that by taking these commitments over a longer period you will pay back more in interest over the term.
If you are re-mortgaging away from your existing lender be careful and check whether or not you will incur any early repayment charges. |
