Mortgage Glossary: Tax Free Cash Sum

Tax Free Cash Sum

This is the part of a pension mortgage which is used to repay the mortgage loan at retirement. Usually lenders will set a ceiling on the amount of tax free cash that is used to repay the mortgage of no more than 70 or 80%. Alternatively, the lender may base repayment of the mortgage amount on the full tax-free cash sum, and in this case, a lower rate of growth is assumed in the pension fund.

Get professional help from a qualified independent mortgage advisor and see how much you could save on your mortgage payments. There's no obligation, just plain good advice.
