    When someone talks about savings and saving money, it could be referring to a piggy bank on the mantelpiece or a high interest deposit account. Savings are effectively cash or cash instruments, such as deposit accounts or term bonds.

    Investing is what you can do with the savings you have created - if you are looking to generate a greater return on your money than is available to you through your savings instruments.Read More

    No tax is popular but Inheritance Tax seems to provoke the most resentment.

    After all, having built your capital suffering tax at up to 45% your heirs will lose another 40%.

    The good news is this tax is designed to be avoided, provided you take action early. Government policy is to get capital moving down the generations so gifts made regularly from income or more than seven years before death are not taxed at all. Read More

    Needing long term care can be a difficult and worrying time, both for the person needing care and for family or legal representatives such as attorneys.

    Some people choose to go into a care home; others reach a point where there is no choice. However you reach this point, a deep financial understanding of the costs and resources with which to pay is essential.

Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage

EQUITY RELEASE WILL REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR ESTATE AND CAN AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR MEANS TESTED BENEFITS.

How does it work?

Similar advantages and disadvantages as a regular lifetime mortgage, with additional issues that are unique to this kind of equity release scheme. The main difference is that you don't request the full sum of money available to you immediately. Instead, you decide on a maximum amount of equity you want to release, and 'drawdown' the cash in stages as and when required.

ADVANTAGES

  1. You are in control of your money as you can release cash when it suits you , or you may be able to request a monthly income with no monthly payments to make
  2. You retain full ownership of your home
  3. You only pay interest on the amount of equity released from your home, so interest could accumulate more slowly than with a regular lifetime mortgage
  4. Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage plans may be available to younger people (aged 55+)
  5. Some Drawdown Lifetime Mortgage plans let you guarantee an inheritance for your family

DISADVANTAGES

  1. Interest rates are usually higher than on a standard lifetime mortgage
  2. Reduced amount available to leave as an inheritance
  3. Interest grows quickly as it is compounded
  4. If you want to increase the amount of equity released beyond the original amount agreed, you would normally have to apply for a further advance, which is not guaranteed
  5. If you repay the lifetime mortgage loan early, you may have to pay an early repayment charge
  6. Your tax position and certain state benefits may be affected
