Divorce Mortgages
A popular financial remedy and growing trend for later life divorcees (also known as 'Silver Splitters') is a Lifetime Mortgage.
A lifetime mortgage is where a loan is secured against the property. The loan, along with any accrued interest, is repaid when the homeowner passes away or moves into long-term care.
It is a highly regulated financial solution that allows homeowners who are over 55 years of age to access the wealth tied up in their property.
We have also helped divorcees younger than 50 years old to access similar solutions. Please call to discuss possible options.
How Lifetime Mortgages Assist Divorcee Clients
Income is not a requirement for eligibility – both retired and unemployed applicants are eligible
Tenure for life – a client cannot be repossessed for NOT making any repayments
Flexibility – a client can choose to make NO interest payments or to make regular or ad hoc repayments, to suit their lifestyle
A client can raise funds for buying-out their ex-partner
A client can use a Lifetime Mortgage to help purchase their new home from a divorce payout
Minimum age 55 to 90 years plus
Includes a No Negative Equity Guarantee
The client retains full ownership of the property and can sell the property at any time
The Lifetime Mortgage is fully redeemable at any time, subject to any early repayment charges if applicable.
Note: Independent Legal Advice is required.
Modern lifetime mortgages are at the forefront of financial planning by providing access to tax-free funds to meet a client's objectives. There are no repayments required, although voluntary repayments can be made to mitigate any roll-up of interest during their lifetime, and full home ownership is retained.
Lifetime mortgages are flexible as they can be redeemed if required.
