1 THE RESPONSIBLE EQUITY RELEASE GUIDE Everything you need to know about. An informative guide from the specialists

2 Welcome to the Responsible guide to. Equity release has come a long way since regulation in 2007, as the UK s 55 + population looks to safely take advantage of their biggest asset to fund their ambitions. We set up Responsible to work with the growing number of people who want to use as a sensible, way to improve their lifestyle. What is? 2 Lifelong aspirations, debt-clearance, income top-ups or family matters may be the reason you have enquired about. Now it is time to see if is the right way to achieve your aims. This guide is designed to simplify and debunk the myths, without taking away any of the detail and information that will help you make your decision. We ll also bring our new moneysaving features to life using examples based on industry facts. Types of How can help me? Equity release examples Our assurances & safeguards Why should I choose Responsible? If you would like to release equity, we would like to be the ones to help you along your way. Throughout this guide, we hope you ll see why so many people look to use their property and why you might want to work with an organisation like Responsible. Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration. Responsible Life Limited trading as Responsible Equity Release is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The FCA registration number is or visit 1

3 What is? Equity release lenders now give homeowners aged 55+ the option to turn the equity built up in their property into tax-free cash without selling or downsizing. You continue to own the property 100%, keep the deeds in your name and have the right to remain in your property for life. Equity in your home is the difference between the home s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all mortgages, secured loans and charges on the property. Usually, to access your equity you would need to sell your property or remortgage with difficult monthly repayment commitments. However, is a product designed to meet the needs of asset-rich homeowners who don t want to move. It s popular because it makes sense. The lenders like to invest in reliable, longterm UK property whilst those releasing equity benefit from gaining access to money that would have otherwise been tied up for life. The money you receive is yours to spend as you please and as the equity is already yours, it is completely tax-free. You can also choose how you would like to receive the money - whether it be a cash lump sum, an account to draw upon as and when required, or a mixture of the two. We are members of the Equity Release Council Conduct Authority regulations. Responsible Equity Release are official members of the Equity Release Council and uphold all of its standards and regulations. The Equity Release Council, formerly known as SHIP, is an organisation dedicated to the protection of the consumer through a code of conduct which goes over and above Financial We only ever recommend plans that adhere to strict Equity Release Council standards. Only those who hold the required qualifications are allowed to advise and arrange an Equity Release Council plan. How equity can build up in a property Peter buys a house for 200,000. Peter personally pays 100,000 and borrows 100,000 in the form of a mortgage. The value of the home has increased to 300,000 over the years and Peter has paid off all but 20,000. Peter has 280,000 equity. Peter can access a percentage of this through. or visit 2

5 Types of There are three main types of that Responsible recommend. We do not advise on home reversion plans. We only advise on lifetime mortgages where you retain 100% ownership and the deeds to your property. 1) Roll-Up Lifetime Mortgage 2) Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage 3) Interest-Only Lifetime Mortgage You receive a cash lump sum and maintain 100% home ownership. Interest will accrue on the amount of cash you choose to release. Your estate will usually settle the amount owed from the sale of the property. Most lenders allow up to 12 months for the estate to sell the property without interference. If your family would like to keep the property instead, they are welcome to pay the balance from other means. Works the same as a Roll Up Lifetime Mortgage except you can choose to release the money flexibly, as and when you need it. Interest will not accrue on the money held in reserve until you have released it. As with the Roll-up and Drawdown Lifetime Mortgages, you receive a cash lump sum and maintain 100% home ownership. In fact, you can choose to pay anything from 25 per month up to the full amount of interest due. Any interest you do not pay will accrue as with the Roll-up Lifetime Mortgage. If you decide you don t want to make monthly payments any more, you can stop and the plan will change to a regular Roll-Up Lifetime Mortgage. This is a lifetime mortgage. To understand the features and risk, ask for a personalised illustration. or visit 4

7 How can help you? 1. You may want to use the money to take that holiday you ve always dreamed of, perhaps visiting family that you haven t seen for years. 2. You may want to buy a new, more reliable car to help you get around. 3. You may want to use the money you release to make up the shortfall that retirement sometimes creates. 4. You may want to consider releasing equity to help make home improvements, such as putting up a conservatory, landscaping the garden, installing a more modern kitchen or extending the home to accommodate more frequent family visits. 5. Equity release can be used to pay off your mortgage or credit card bills, meaning you can reduce your monthly outgoings and free up cash for more rewarding expenditure. 6. Like more and more people you may want to release equity to help support your family, children or grandchildren as and when they need the help instead of the more traditional route of waiting to leave an inheritance. The advantage of this is that you can see and enjoy the help you have provided. 7. You may want to use as a tool in a more comprehensive inheritance tax strategy. At Responsible, we can put you in touch with qualified advisers who can help plan to reduce inheritance tax. Points To Consider Releasing equity from your home could affect your entitlement to means-tested state benefits. An adviser will be able to explain exactly what this means to you personally and can then provide advice accordingly. A Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage can often be used to ensure you don t jeopardise your benefits. If you invest the money you release then your tax position could be affected and the investment return may be less than the interest charged on the d. Releasing equity will reduce the value of your estate over time. All plans recommended by Responsible do come with a No Negative Equity Guarantee ensuring you will never owe more than the value of your home. Some plans allow you to guarantee an inheritance to protect your estate see page 8 for a Protected Equity Guarantee example. It s important to remember that does not usually come with monthly payments, meaning you can t face repossession for missing payments. Even with the interest-only plan, if you do miss payments, or it is no longer affordable, it will convert to a Roll-up Lifetime Mortgage leaving you with no monthly repayments. or visit 6

9 Equity release examples Roll Up Lifetime Mortgage Example: Sally was 55, her husband John was 62 and their house was worth 200,000. They borrowed 25,000 to pay off bills and buy a car. The interest rate was fixed for life and the interest added to the loan each year. Their house has increased in value at a yearly rate of 2.85% (only half the average yearly house price growth for the years ). They made no monthly repayments during their lifetime and so the interest has rolled up. Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage Example: Michael was 71, his wife Mary was 69 and their house was worth 400,000. They were able to reserve 20,000 in a drawdown facility to call upon in the future if needed. After 5 years, they drew 5000 from their drawdown reserve and when Michael died 10 years after taking the plan out, Mary drew 15,000. Their house has increased in value at a yearly rate of 2.85% (only half the average yearly house price growth for the years ) and was worth 609,711 when Mary died. Their estate sold the property and repaid the equity release provider the money borrowed plus interest. The money remaining went to the estate as per the demands of Mary and Michael s will. Flexible Repayment Example: James was a 62 year old widower. James released 30,000 from his property and chose the flexible equity plan where he was able to repay up to 10% of the plan every year. James then reduced these payments to 500 a year for the next five years as he was only working parttime. - - James was able to release 30,000 when he needed it, remain in his property for as long as he wanted to and keep the size of the plan down by making regular repayments. * Please note that this is only an example using half the previous years actual growth as a comparison and the value of your house could go down or not increase at the same rate as it previously had. Responsible only recommend plans that guarantee you will never owe more than the value of your home. The source for the historic growth figures is the Nationwide House Price Index at 5.7%. or visit 8

12 A final thought from some of our customers Responsible Equity Release have changed my life dramatically. As enough. I considered moving to a cheaper home but loved the home I was in. Responsible gave me the chance to stay in my home, own it 100% and still have enough money to do the things in retirement that I have worked hard to do. The way they relayed information As I sat in my garden yesterday, I am ever so glad I went through up my living room and had a helping hand come in to turn my garden into a manageable state of affairs! All I wanted was to be be paid. I can do all those things now...and more. My Peruvian lilies have just started to bloom and life is good!
