Features

The Canada Life Lifestyle Select Super Lite plan is a one-off lump sum lifetime mortgage scheme which provides an initial tax-free lump sum cash release for immediate use. This is ideal for those just requiring a single sum of money, without the need for any additional funds in the future.

A generous free unlimited valuation is offered along with a fixed equity release lifetime interest rate on the capital amount taken.

Canada Life are members of the Equity Release Council, therefore all their plans come with a no-negative equity guarantee. The significance of this means that upon eventual sale of the property, any beneficiaries cannot be left with a debt owing to the equity release company.

One of the strongest features of the Lifestyle Select Options range of plans are the early repayment charges (ERC's). Canada Life only charge an early repayment charge for the first 8 years following inception, or additional borrowing on this equity release loan. Early repayment charges start at 5% for the first 5 years, then reduces to 3% for the next 3 years and then NO penalty thereafter.

Additional borrowing maybe available in the future, should the initial loan not be utilised in full, with a minimum additional borrowing amount of £4,000 and no completion fee charged by Canada Life.

Options

This Canada Life Lifestyle Select Super Lite Mortgage enables any homeowner to spend their tax-free cash as they wish, with no need in having to make any repayments.

An option for inclusion is the Inheritance Protection feature, where the homeowner can secure a fixed percentage of the final sale value of the property. This is important for those who wish to guarantee a percentage of the house value from their inheritance.

Being a core lump sum product, there is also the option of adding a cash drawdown facility, which enables any homeowner access to funds in the future from as little as £2,000 per withdrawal.

The Canada Life Lifestyle Select Super Lite plan comes with a 10% per annum Voluntary Payment Option. This allows the homeowner to make ad-hoc repayments back to the lender with no proof of income required.

With a monthly standing order payment facility, the Lifestyle Super Lite plan will allow payment of the full interest that's charged by Canada Life. This will assist in maintaining a future level balance, which effectively means the Ultra Lite plan can be managed as an interest only mortgage.

The 10% pa voluntary payments incur no early repayment penalty by the lender and therefore sits outside the standard early repayment charge structure. Another important feature of these voluntary payments is they are not affordability checked. This means regardless of income, you would qualify for the plan and can make payments voluntarily.
