This allows the homeowner to make ad-hoc repayments of 10% of the original amount borrowed each year with NO penalty, after the plan has been running 6 months.

This can help manage the future balance of the plan, and can therefore be operated on an interest-only or repayment basis, or just ad-hoc whenever the need arises. This can be important to those looking to ensure their beneficiaries acquire some form of inheritance.
