However, with a Lifetime Mortgage, there are no required monthly payments. Instead, you will have the option to make voluntary interest payments and partial repayments to reduce the total amount of your loan, subject to the requirements of your lender. I will work with you to determine whether you will be able to make these repayments and we can then decide on a solution that's right for you.
