What will my Equity Release Scheme cost?

The costs will depend on the type of plan you choose, its terms and the amount of equity you want to release.

Completion, arrangement or application fees

These are usually between £300 and £600 and cover administration costs.

Valuation fees

For an Equity Release mortgage the lender will need to value your property to make sure that it provides good security for the loan. The valuation fee will depend on how much your home is worth, with higher charges for more expensive properties.

For a £100,000 property, the fee is likely to be between £200 and £300. Some companies may refund this when the loan is completed, and in some instances a free valuation may be available.

Solicitors' fees

These are usually between £300 and £500 and cover the legal work carried out on your mortgage.

Insurance

You will need to have buildings insurance that is acceptable to the lender in place for the duration of the equity release / lifetime mortgage. This will usually cost between £200 and £300 a year.

Early repayment charges

To cover the costs involved in setting up an Equity Release Scheme, lenders may make a charge if you repay it early.

Exemptions from the early repayment charge are typically:

• If you move home, including moving to a property of a lower value, provided you transfer your existing Loans to this new property, then no early repayment charge will be made.
• If you move home and have to make a partial payment to reduce the total amount payable to the new maximum amount you can borrow, then this partial payment (the difference between the current outstanding balance and the new Loan to value) may be subject to an early repayment charge.
• If you are borrowing on your own and you move into long term care or die, then no early repayment charge will be made. If you are borrowing jointly with someone else and you are the last borrower to move into long term care or die, then no early repayment charge will be made.
