⏳ Lifetime & Later-Life Mortgages in Ashford

• ⚠️ Compounding interest may reduce your inheritance
• ❗ Possible impact on eligibility for benefits
• 💸 Early repayment fees may apply if refinancing or moving

💡 Why Remortgaging Might Be Better

If your mortgage deal is ending or property values have risen, remortgaging might release funds with lower long-term borrowing costs.
