Case Study: Releasing Equity for Home Modifications Due to Health Needs

For homeowners facing health challenges, staying in their home may require significant modifications, such as installing stairlifts or converting rooms for accessibility. A lifetime mortgage can provide the necessary funds to make these important changes.
Objective:
The clients aimed to release equity from their home to fund modifications that would accommodate mobility issues, allowing them to remain in their home safely and comfortably.
Obstacle:
The challenge was to secure a lifetime mortgage that provided sufficient funds for the modifications without compromising the client’s financial security in the future.
Outcome:
We arranged a lifetime mortgage that provided the clients with the funds needed to install a stairlift and convert a downstairs room into a bedroom. These modifications allowed the clients to continue living in their home with improved safety and comfort.
Summary:
Through a lifetime mortgage, the clients were able to fund essential home modifications that supported their health needs, enabling them to remain in their home with peace of mind.
