Making the decision to apply for an Equity Release Mortgage is a big decision that we can help with. You might be looking to do some home improvements, help out your loved ones, treat yourself to an adventure of a lifetime or simply to enhance your retirement income so you have money to enjoy yourselves. Either way, we can help you find the right mortgage product to fit your priorities and needs. We promise not to swamp you in financial jargon and we encourage you to ask as many questions as you like. You may like to have a family member with you whilst we walk through the details, that works for us too. We understand that Equity Release is not the right for solution for everyone and may reduce the value of your estate.
We will manage the entire process for you, but also with you, from start to finish. All the worries of who to speak to, which documents you need to send and what happens next is taken care of by us, this is what we do!
To give you an idea how we work, we’ve mapped out how our Equity Release Mortgage process works. Our entire aim is to find the right mortgage product for you.
Releasing equity from your home
Lets chat and get to know each other a little. Ask us questions, have a chat and start to know that we’ve got you covered.
Fact Finding
Lets meet, have coffee and cake, whether thats face to face, by telephone or a video call. The objective is to truly understand your needs and priorities now and into the future.
Research Time
We look for the most appropriate lenders and products from the lifetime mortgage market for you. We provide you with tailored advice to meet your personal priorities and your affordability. We will lay out all the options available to you in the current market highlighting the best most appropriate way forward.
Presentation
This is where we get together again for a short meeting so we can fully explain our findings being the most appropriate lender, product and why. We will go through any fees payable during the process and of course, all the typical monthly interest repayments, rolled up interest now and into the future. You can ask as many questions as you like, questions are good and if you want a friend or family member present with you, thats fine with us too.
Pre-advice check
As part of our compliance and duty of care, we will submit a pre-advice check to our Compliance Team to ensure you are receiving the best possible advice for your needs. We really do care about getting the right product for you, we want you to feel happy and comfortable with the service we are providing.
Completion of application
Once the pre-advice compliance checks have been confirmed we then complete the full mortgage application on your behalf. A valuation of your property will be instructed by the lender at your convenience. We will keep an eye on the progress made and keep in touch at each step of the process.
Protection Review
Whilst your mortgage application is progressing it’s a good time to make sure you are aware of the importance of protecting you and your home for future events. We can provide a full review of any existing cover you may already have in place. We then look at any shortfalls and what is important to you so you don’t risk losing your home!
Ongoing support
We will provide ongoing support with your mortgage application through to completion and release of funds via your solicitor. We will regularly monitor the progress of your application and liaise with solicitors and lenders, completely keeping you in the loop throughout.
Confirm you are satisfied with our independent legal advice that you receive at this stage.
Release of funds
Immediate funds and any future drawdowns that you have in place, are released to you through your Solicitor. We are still here to help out with any post application questions you may have.
