You stay in your home rent free for as long as you choose
and are able to guarantee an inheritance to your beneficiaries. Both you and the
reversion scheme company share in any increase in your property's value, providing
you have not exchanged 100% of its value. Advantages of a Home Reversion
PlanYou are able to guarantee an inheritance. There are no monthly
repayments to make. You benefit from any increase in value of the percentage
of the property that you still own. Reversion plans may be available to
those aged 55+ and you can typically raise more money from your home at a younger
age with a reversion plan than a lifetime mortgage would allow. The older
you are, the more money you will be able to release with a reversion plan. Disadvantages
of a Home Reversion PlanTypically, you do not receive the full market
value of the share of the property you sell because the reversion plan company
will give you the absolute right to live in it rent free for the rest of your
life, and will not get their money back for a number of years. The reversion
plan company owns a share of your home and will also benefit from any increase
in value. Reversion plans cannot usually be reversed as you are selling
part of your home. The majority of reversion plan providers do not guarantee
further advances |
