][What is a Lifetime Mortgage?
]A lifetime mortgage is a type of equity release that allows homeowners aged 55 and over to borrow money against the value of their home while maintaining ownership. Unlike a traditional mortgage, you do not need to make monthly repayments unless you choose to. Instead, the loan, plus any interest accrued, is repaid when the property is sold, typically upon your passing or moving into long-term care.
