2 The following presentation relates to a Lifetime Mortgage which is available to European owners of Spanish Residential properties who are fluent in English. Golden Age Distribution is the exclusive Sales Distributor throughout Spain, on behalf of Manchester Building Society for Lifetime Mortgages.

3 Having worked hard all our lives most of us dream of enjoying a happy and relaxed retirement. But nowadays being retired can be a costly business - pensions and savings are not stretching as far as they used to and you may be worried that they are not giving you the comfortable lifestyle that you have come to expect. Couple this with the fact that many of us are living longer, and retired people are increasingly finding that they need an extra source of cash to help pay bills and maintain the Spanish way of life they are accustomed to. While selling and downsizing to a cheaper property is one option, it would be a major upheaval to leave the home you love and go through the stress and costs of a move. In today s climate, as most people s greatest asset is their home, it could make sense to capitalise on this wealth by releasing some equity from your Spanish property.

4 WHAT IS A LIFETIME MORTGAGE THROUGH MANCHESTER BUILDING SOCIETY? A responsible, competitively priced mortgage facility from a prestigious UK Building Society available to European Nationals who are Spanish residential property owners and are fully fluent in English

5 HOW DO THESE MORTGAGES WORK? A Lifetime Mortgage is a special type of loan which is designed to run for the rest of your life. It is a way for you to release equity from your Spanish property by enabling you to borrow money to provide a cash lump-sum. This money does not have to be repaid during the life of the mortgage. You make no monthly payments. Instead, the interest accumulates and is added to the mortgage balance each month. The loan is secured on the property and the amount owed - the initial loan plus interest - is only paid back from the sale of the property, after the death of the last surviving of you, or if the last survivor moves into long-term care. Any monies left over from the sale of the property would pass to your beneficiaries.

6 HOW DO THESE MORTGAGES WORK? You retain full ownership of your property and can continue living in it for as long as you wish. The funds released through the mortgage can be used for any purpose holidays, home improvements, new car, grandchildren s education, the purchase of a second property, tax planning, downsizing to a smaller property etc. These mortgages have a No Negative Equity Guarantee provided by Manchester Building Society, which means even if the outstanding mortgage (inclusive of interest) is higher than the eventual sale proceeds, your heirs will not be required to pay off the shortfall.

7 IS PROPERTY THE NEW PENSION? Falls in the equity markets earlier this decade have left many retirees with lower savings and income levels than they were expecting. The general costs associated with living in Spain have been continuously rising. At the same time people have seen the value of their Spanish property increase substantially. These people are often property rich but cash poor. It therefore could make financial planning sense to look to realise some of that value by releasing a part of the equity from your Spanish property. A Lifetime Mortgage from Manchester Building Society could be used to top up your pension income. Available to both Spanish Resident and Spanish Non-Resident property owners.

8 WHO ARE THEY AIMED AT? We re not just living longer these days. We re fitter, healthier and more active. We re more outgoing, more adventurous and more and more of us want to live life to the full when we are in our 60 s, 70 s, 80 s & 90 s. Lifetime Mortgages can help you to make the most of this special time in your life. This is a golden age for people in a retirement full of golden opportunities. Can also be used to give advance inheritance to children or grandchildren.
