Frequently Asked Questions.
We do not offer advice to clients that we would not offer to ourselves or our families so you can be sure of a professional, yet friendly and relaxed service during the whole process. We make things easy and straightforward with no pressure at all.
Equity Release will reduce the value of your estate and can affect your eligibility for means-tested benefits
Quite simply, equity release schemes enable you to take cash from the equity built up in your property.
They are designed to help homeowners who would otherwise struggle to take on a regular mortgage and the associated monthly payments to enjoy the value of their home in whatever they wish. The minimum age is typically 55 on lifetime mortgages and 60 on reversion plans.
Lifetime mortgages are the most common type of scheme. These enable you to take out a loan on your property in return for a lump sum, an income or a combination of the two. Importantly, you continue to own the property and unless you wish to, you will not make monthly repayments and the debt will be repaid only when you die or go into long-term care. If the interest is not paid throughout the term of the policy then it will accumulate and the initial borrowing amount will increase.
The most popular sort of lifetime mortgage is the “drawdown” version, designed for those who don’t need a large cash lump sum at the outset. Instead, a pot of money is set aside for you to draw from, as and when you need it, meaning that you only pay interest on the cash you release.
Home reversion schemes account for a tiny part of the market. With these, you sell all, or part, of your home to a company in return for a lump sum, or regular income, and the right to remain living there. When the property is eventually sold, you or your estate only receive the percentage of the property’s value that you still own. If, for example, you have sold 60%, you will only keep 40% of the final sale price.
The amount you can raise through equity release depends on a number of factors including the value of your property and how old you are. If there are two of you taking out the plan, it will be based on the age of the younger.
We are absolutely delighted with your service. It is really refreshing to work with a Financial Adviser who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances and preferences. What really impressed us was the way you took the time to get a feeling for our financial position, your depth of knowledge, lateral thinking and your common sense approach. Michel & Denise Hutchinson, Iwade, Sittingbourne
After nearly 2 years of frustration and on the point of having to sell up and move far away from our family, we were recommended by a colleague to contact Marble Financial Planning. From the moment we met Liam Nash we thought our luck had changed. Liam even came with us to see our sceptical solicitor and within a few days gave us the green light to proceed with Liam’s proposals. We would not hesitate to recommend Marble as a suitable company to deal with based in our experience during a very stressful period of our lives. Mr & Mrs Rowe, Pembury, Tunbridge Wells
