Mr and Mrs Allen, a retired couple in their late seventies, needed £500000 to pay for urgent and essential repairs to their £12 million London property. Mr and Mrs Allen had taken out a Lifetime Mortgage some years previously to fund holidays and provide gifts to family members.
By re-financing they were able to discharge their original loan and have a further £500000 to fund the essential repairs to the property. The repairs, once completed, increased the value of the property considerably.
