Equity release used to repay Santander interest-only mortgage with expired term

Trinity Financial recently arranged an equity release loan for a client whose Santander interest-only mortgage term had finished.

They had reverted to the Santander's standard variable rate, and the bank was extremely keen for the mortgage to be repaid. 

Our clients wanted to stay in their property, but they did not have a sufficient income to remortgage to another lender. They also did not think it was an appropriate time to sell.

Trinity's equity release and older borrower specialist confirmed they could not switch to another lender, and recommended an equity release loan.  

He suggested a product where the interest would be rolled up so the clients could stay in their property for the longer term, but with an overpayment facility where after 12 months the could make payments to keep the debt level the same.

The mortgage offer was produced in six weeks enabling the client to repay their existing bank and stay in their home.
