Background

Legal and General Home Finance entered the equity release marketplace in early 2015 by acquiring existing lifetime mortgage company New Life Mortgages. This enabled them a quicker route to market with immediate permissions, whilst at the same time obtaining PRA & FCA regulatory approval.

Legal & General have started life with a range of flexible drawdown lifetime mortgage plans and high maximum lump sum plans, all with the control-ability measure of the 10% partial repayment function. They have more equity release plans in store with ambitious targets to grow the market significantly over the forthcoming years, which all bodes well for an already expanding post retirement lending market.

Eligibility

The Legal & General Flexible Pink Lifetime Mortgage scheme is specifically designed for those looking for one of the lowest equity release interest rates, coupled with the flexibility of a lifetime drawdown and the ability to make flexible ad-hoc payments.

The minimum property valuation applicable to this Optional Payment Blue Mortgage is £70,000, with a figure of £100,000 for ex-council properties. A maximum valuation outside London is £2m, with properties in London being acceptable upto £4m. Please. Contact us on 0800 088 5898 if valuation is higher.

The location of the property which must be a main residence, needs to be situated in England, Wales or mainland Scotland. For flats & maisonettes - Legal and General will only base their calculations on 85% of the current market valuation. Additionally, should the property be leasehold then the minimum number of years remaining must be at least 175 years.

The L&G Flexible Lifetime Pink Lifetime Mortgage is available on both a single and joint life basis. The minimum age of the youngest homeowner starts from age 55, with a typical maximum age of 90. In certain circumstances an age of 90+ can be acceptable - please contact the team if so on 0800 088 5898

The minimum loan for this plan is £10,000 with a maximum release of £750,000. For loans greater than £750,000, bespoke quotations are available via Equity Release Supermarket. Please call 0800 088 5898 for a personalised Key Facts Illustration.

Features

Legal and General's Flexible Pink Plan is a drawdown lifetime mortgage scheme, however importantly it has the ability to accept partial repayments of upto 10% per annum. This Optional Partial Payment plan provides an initial tax-free lump sum cash release for immediate use, with any remaining unused cash being retained in an uncapped cash reserve facility. This is ideal for those looking for access to a cash drawdown facility in the future with one of the lowest equity release interest rate available. The minimum withdrawal amount from the cash reserve facility is just £2,000, with no admin charges for any additional drawdown taken.

A generous free unlimited valuation is offered along with a fixed equity release lifetime interest rate on the initial lump sum. Any further withdrawals would be at the interest rate applicable at the time of withdrawal.

Legal & General include a Downsizing Protection feature on all its plans.

The L&G version of Downsizing Protection means that anyone moving home after 5 years from the plan start date, can repay the loan with no early repayment charge, as long as the property they are moving into does not meet L&G’s lending criteria.

As Legal & General are members of the Equity Release Council all their plans come with a no negative equity guarantee. Therefore, upon eventual sale of the property, any beneficiaries cannot be left with a debt to the equity release provider.

For joint applicants there is an added protection feature for the last survivor of the plan. Should one homeowner die or move into care, the surviving partner has the option to be able to repay this lifetime mortgage within 3 years of this event with NO penalty.

Options

This Legal and General Pink Optional Partial Payment Mortgage enables any homeowner to spend their tax-free cash as they wish, with no need in having to make any repayments. However, one major feature of the L&G Pink plan is the Partial Repayment Option which allows the planholder to start making upto 10% repayments of the original amount borrowed each year with no penalty. This helps manage control the future balance of the lifetime mortgage UK scheme, either to reduce the roll-up effect of the interest, pay off the interest only or even reduce the future balance by using the full 10% allowance.

A further option for inclusion is the Inheritance Protection feature so 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.

*Plan available with & without arrangement fee. The NO arrangement fee option is available until further notice.
**The interest rate quoted comes with a £599 application fee
