Costs

Reid and Co Financial Services Ltd do not offer mortgage services, however you might be interested to read the brief summaries under the various headings shown in this section. They are purely provided for general guidance only and should not be relied upon. Your mortgage is probably the largest financial transaction and commitment you are likely to undertake. You should always seek mortgage advice which is totally independent and individually tailored to your needs.

Costs of Equity Release Schemes

Take into consideration that when entering into any type of equity release scheme there will be set up costs and ongoing costs which can include:

1. Arrangement Fees payable to the lender
2. Legal Fees
3. Valuation Fees
4. Maintenance costs - you are still responsible for maintenance of the property
5. Insurance costs - maintaining adequate buildings insurance

Lifetime Mortgage can quickly erode the remaining equity and as a result there may be no value left to pass on.

'Equity Release' includes Home Reversion Plans and Lifetime Mortgages. To understand the features and risks please ask for a personalised illustration.
