Mortgage Repayments Stop UK Homeowners From Saving More For Retirement

Higher interest rates on mortgages are leading to many people’s monthly mortgage payments increasing. Higher monthly mortgages payments together with the rising costs of living are meaning people are struggling to save for their retirement.

Equity release mortgages allow the over 55’s to release funds from their property whilst continuing to reside there. An equity release mortgage allows you to release a lump sum so you can improve your property, pay off your mortgage/debts or take a holiday. You could also use the lump sum to supplement your income, save for the future, or make a gift to a family member. Equity release requires specialist legal advice and financial advice. If you are considering equity release it is also important to do your research and discuss it with your family.
