A Home Reversion Plan also allows you to access all or part of the value of your property while retaining the right to remain in your property, rent free, for the rest of your life. With a Home Reversion product the provider will purchase all or part of your house taking into account your age and your health and will provide you with a tax free cash lump sum (or regular payments) and a lifetime lease, guaranteeing you the right to stay in your property rent-free for the rest of your life.
There is no day-to-day interference and no restrictions on treating the house exactly as before; as a private home to live in freely.
The percentage you retain in your property will always remain the same regardless of the change in property values, unless you decide to take further cash releases.
At the end of the plan your property is sold and the sale proceeds are shared according to the remaining proportions of ownership.
With both a Lifetime Mortgage and a Home Reversion Plan it is possible to give a homeowner some certainty in their future finances. With a Home Reversion Plan the client knows precisely what he/she has parted with and, equally, what has been ring-fenced for later use, possibly to leave in a Will. With some Lifetime Mortgages it may be possible to also ring-fence an element of equity.
