Equity Release

How TMAC Helped Malcolm Regain Stability with Equity Release

February 18, 20252 min read

Financial difficulties can strike at any stage of life, and for Malcolm, a pensioner, the challenges came unexpectedly. Despite owning his home outright, he found himself in a tough spot after falling victim to scams and facing mounting bills.

Here’s how TMAC worked with our trusted Equity Release partner to provide Malcolm with the solution he desperately needed.

 

Malcolm’s Financial Struggles

 

Malcolm’s situation was unique but unfortunately not uncommon:

  • He had lost a significant amount of money due to various scams.

  • A large builder's bill further strained his finances.

  • Unsecured debts had built up over time, making day-to-day expenses difficult to manage.

  • Living on a low income from his pension, he struggled to find financial relief.

Despite his substantial asset—an outright-owned home—Malcolm faced rejection when seeking help from other providers. His bank account flagged with fraud-related issues added an extra hurdle to his search for support.

 

TMAC’s Tailored Solution

 

When Malcolm approached TMAC, we immediately focused on his unique needs and circumstances.

  1. Compassionate Consultation
    We took the time to understand Malcolm’s financial pressures and the emotional toll of his experience with scams.

  2. Equity Release Partner
    Recognizing the potential in Malcolm’s outright homeownership, we connected him with our trusted Equity Release partner. Unlike others, this partner took the time to delve deeper into Malcolm’s situation and saw beyond the issues flagged by his bank.

  3. Securing the Funds
    After careful assessment, Malcolm was approved for
    £28,000 through equity release. This amount allowed him to:

    • Cover the builder’s bill.

    • Pay off his unsecured debts.

    • Regain peace of mind with funds for day-to-day living expenses.

  4. Practical Outcomes
    With his debts cleared and his monthly payments reduced to nearly zero, Malcolm could finally breathe easy. He retained ownership of his home while unlocking the funds he needed to restore stability to his life.

 

Equity Release

A Fresh Start

 

Malcolm’s story highlights how the right financial support can transform lives. By leveraging the value of his home, he overcame the setbacks caused by fraud and mounting expenses.

THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments to your mortgage.

If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing, you should be aware that you may be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay

Located at:

Suite 1 Egerton House, Wilmslow Road, Manchester, England, M20 2DX.

REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE

If you borrow £30,000 over 180 months with an interest rate of 9.25% fixed for the first five years from loan completion, followed by a variable rate currently at 9.75% for the remainder of the term:

- Your monthly payment will be £353.53 during the initial fixed-rate period of 60 months.

- Thereafter, your monthly payment will be £363.89 when the rate becomes variable. The variable payment may change if the interest rate fluctuates.

The total amount payable will be £64,878.60, consisting of:

- Loan amount: £30,000

- Interest: £30,528.60

- Broker fee: £3,750

- ‎Lender Fee: £600

This results in an overall cost of 12.6% APRC.

Rates from 5.99% to 26.3%.

All fees charged by our partner (Optimise Finance) will be explained in detail and subsequently in writing prior to commencement of any loan that our partner(s) are able to provide.
