Equity Release
Helping you to live the retirement you dreamed of, whether thats “life on the open road” or just having enough to live comfortably.
Here’s 10 Top protections for you..
You have a guaranteed right to ‘remain in your own home’ for life.
All Lifetime mortgages are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) since 2004
You will get a ‘No negative equity guarantee’ from our approved lenders
We are an ‘Approved Member’ of the Equity Release Council – all the plans we offer fully meet Equity Release council approval.
Lifetime mortgages are also covered under FSCS ( financial services compensation scheme )
Inheritance Guarantees are available, to ensure some monies are always left for your loved ones.
The ability to ‘move home’ and close or take your lifetime mortgage with you to the next property ( as long as it meets lenders requirements).
Interest rates are normally FIXED FOR LIFE, meaning you have certainty of exactly how it will run.
If you use QUEST, know that we are impartial and whole of market, to get you the most suitable deal from approved lenders.
If you have used QUEST for your initial deal, if rates change and its advantageous for you to move to a new lower rate. We will NOT charge you a further advice fee.
With a lifetime mortgage you don’t have to make any monthly payments. Instead the interest is added to the amount you owe each month.
This means interest will be charged on the loan plus any interest already added. The lifetime mortgage is usually repaid from the sale of your home when you, or the remaining applicant (if the mortgage is in joint names) dies or moves out of your home into long term care. Of course, any money left over would go to your beneficiaries.
Your lifetime mortgage can move with you, subject to term and conditions of your lender. You must discuss moving home with your lender before committing to a purchase.
Property values may change, and any fall in value will affect the equity available to you or the beneficiaries of your estate. Your lenders No Negative Equity Guarantee means you or your beneficiaries will never have to pay back more than the amount your property is sold for. This is provided it’s sold for the best price reasonably obtainable and you have met your lenders terms and conditions for your lifetime mortgage
A lifetime Mortgage offers you a cash sum as the initial loan. If you choose to take less than the maximum amount you’re eligible for, you may have the flexibility to borrow more in the future. You may be able to borrow up to the maximum originally agreed. This could be in one cash sum or a number of smaller amounts. If there is no Drawdown Facility available you may need to apply for a further advance. This is additional borrowing on top of your existing lifetime mortgage. Applications for further advances may be considered 12 months after completion of a lifetime mortgage. Any further borrowing must be on the same basis as an existing lifetime mortgage. The interest rate may be different depending on interest rates available at the time of requesting further advance. The difference between the initial cash sum you take and the maximum amount you could take is called Drawdown Facility
For equity release – there are no income requirements, unless you opt to make monthly payments, in which case lenders will check its feasible.
For RIO’s or mortgages in retirement, the same rules for mortgage affordability apply, IE you must have enough income to prove you can maintain the mortgage payments. Often lenders currently cite that as the last person remaining can still afford the mortgage.
Unlike schemes in the 80’s and 90’s the equity release and lifetime mortgages now come under the control of the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA )
There are also several safeguards, such as no negative equity guarantee’s, right to remain in the property for life etc, that has made these much more robust products for today’s consumers.
Good question, this is often hidden by many. Unlike some Advice companies that charge a minimum fee of £1,795 or 1.99%.
At Quest we believe in a fair and consistent fee, so we charge a set price of £995*
How that compares in real life – You ask for a lifetime mortgage plan for £160,000;
- Our Competitor at £1,795 minimum / 1.99% would charge = £3,184
- Quest Finance Fee = Maximum of £995
- Saving you at least £2,189!
* Note We have Special offers sometime available – PLUS we do NOT charge for any lifetime mortgage deals which release over £200,000.
