2 Role of HIT We facilitate safe equity release loans to enable home owners aged over 55 to carry out repairs,improvements and adaptations to their homes. We are NOT for Profit

3 The Home Improvement Trust Equity Release Equity release is a means of using the value of your home to receive either cash or regular monthly payments. In all instances age is the primary factor in determining the % of the value of your home that can be released. The older you are the greater the %

4 The Equity Release World at Large Turmoil in the financial markets FSA exerting progressively more grip more to come Exit the mutual building societies Welcome to the commercial world FSA & CLG unwillingness to recognise one size does not fit all

5 The Home Improvement Trust History Established in 1997 with support from DoE. Not for Profit Organisation based in Nottingham. Facilitates Equity Release loans for Homeowners & Leaseholders who are aged 55 and over to allow them to repair, improve and adapt their own homes. Operate throughout England & Wales. Partnerships with local authorities as Houseproud Houseproud offers Independent Financial Advice & Product from ALL of market

6 The Local Authority World Where are you? Uneven picture across England & Wales Generally,» Localism determines level of assistance for PSH» 8% reduction in number of HIAs (more to come?)» Very little funding is available» Need is increasing whilst funding & capability is decreasing» Increasing interest in Houseproud

7 What HIT does Introduces Private Sector Funding Funding comes from FSA regulated lenders Lenders are SHIP members Arranges full advice and recommendation process through specialist ER IFA including deals Encourages borrowers to borrow the MINIMUM Provides a FREEPHONE HELPLINE for clients

8 SHIP MEMBERS Aviva Bridgewater Hodge Lifetime Just Retirement Limited LV= More2Life NewLife Northern Rock Partnership Retirement Plus Ltd Saffron Building Society Stonehaven

9 The Financial Market Place There are few financial products available to help those over 55 - the IFA sources the best solution. Equity release means, to the majority of lenders, interest roll up only. Few lenders are interested in lending small sums, prefer to start at 35k. Even fewer lenders are interested in offering Lifetime for small sums. HIT offers start at 5k - lifetime.

10 TYPE OF WORKS HOUSEPROUD CAN SUPPORT Essential works that are required to meet the Decent Home Standard Those that are vulnerable, border line and non-vulnerable Works which may be entitled to assistance from the Department of Works and Pensions All repairs, improvements or adaptations that the Clients wish to carry out What does your PSH Strategy state?

12 What do you want Houseproud to do in your Council? What does your PSH strategy state? Caseworker assistance Reputable contractors Technical support cost recovery add to loan Not all positive outcomes are necessarily loans FACTORS Political will Publicity Partnership

13 Changes to Houseproud Loans starting from 5,000 lifetime Helping homeowners 55 and over DWP Proactive assistance Equity Release advice from all of market Not lifestyle Available to long term leaseholders leaseholders (major repair bills) Local Authority Assistance is key (vulnerable and aged) Reputable Contractors Houseproud loan set up costs are cheaper than HIT set up costs 14 years of experience & Not for Profit
