How an interest reward lifetime mortgage could work for you

CASE STUDY EXAMPLE Save thousands in interest charges Marge is a 71-year-old divorced retiree looking to release £100,000 from her £600,000 property to gift money to her grandchildren and help making some home and garden improvements.

By committing to paying 100% of the monthly interest for 10 years, Marge is rewarded with a 0.30% interest rate discount. Through this interest rate discount, and by paying monthly interest payments for 10 years, Marge can save more than £116,000 over 20 years compared to making no repayments through the same standard lifetime mortgage.
