Equity release mortgage used to fund lease extension on flat
Trinity Financial recently arranged an equity release mortgage for an older client to fund a lease extension on her flat.
The lease had reduced to 35 years and our client was keen to extend it to ensure her family had a saleable asset to leave as part of her estate. She was in her 70's.
As she did not earn enough income to secure a standard mortgage, our equity release adviser arranged a mortgage where the interest rolled up and she did not have to make any repayments.
The price of equity release mortgages has improved considerably in recent years and we secured our client a low rate with flexible options.
