Raising money in divorce to keep your home

Working as a later life lending specialist adviser is always so rewarding advising on lifetime mortgages.

In these challenging times the focus of my advice is far more around helping people in distressing financial situations to provide them with peace of mind rather than releasing monies from their home to fund that trip of a lifetime!

I will be publishing a series of real-life case studies of some of the people I have advised over the last year, where a Lifetime Mortgage was the most suitable solution to meet their needs.

I had a lady contact me who was in the process of divorcing and was living in the former matrimonial home. She really wanted to stay in the property which had been her home for over thirty years and she brought her children up there so had a big emotional attachment to the property.

She unfortunately did not have the financial means to be able to buy her ex-partner out and retain the property.

The customer had already explored getting a mortgage by traditional means however, her part time job, level of potential income in retirement and her age did not make this a viable way forward.

Essential to the customer was that she did not want to put her home at risk either.

After exploring all the options to assist the customer it was agreed with the customer and her son that the most appropriate way forward was to release funds from the property to provide her ex-partner with his share of the property and clear the existing small mortgage held on the property.

The customer had a solution that helped her to stay in the home she loved, and it still be affordable to her to maintain her quality of living.

One very happy customer at a very stressful time.

The Costs of our Service We charge a fixed fee of £1,100 for providing advice and submitting your lifetime mortgage application. The fee is reflective of the initial work carried out to gather your personal information, review your documents, research the market, considering vulnerability and presenting my recommendations to you with a report. I act as a single point of contact and support for you throughout the advice process. The fee becomes payable prior to any application being submitted. This may include adding the fee to the borrowing in exceptional circumstances and only by agreement. We will receive and retain any commission paid by the lender when your mortgage completes. This amount will be confirmed by the lender in their disclosure document. Should you wish, you can request to view the commission rates from each of the lenders we have considered at the time that we make our recommendation to you.
 
Refund of fees
Please note our fee will still be charged should the lender reject your application due to you not disclosing any material information about your personal situation. It should also be noted we do not provide a refund should you decide not to proceed with the loan after we have made a recommendation to you. Should your lifetime mortgage not complete for any reason you will still be liable for our fee, and we will invoice you for this immediately we receive confirmation the lifetime mortgage application is not proceeding, unless your application is submitted to a different lender, as in these circumstances our fee will be rolled over.
