Our lifetime mortgage
The type of equity release we offer is a lifetime mortgage, which is a long-term loan secured on your home and is available to homeowners over 55.
The loan and interest are repaid, usually from the sale of your home, when you die or go into long-term care, subject to our terms and conditions.
Taking a lifetime mortgage will reduce the amount of inheritance you can leave, and may affect your tax position and eligibility for certain means-tested benefits.
You can help support your family and loved ones financially with equity release, whether that's helping them to get on the property ladder or making life a little more comfortable for everyone. Inheritance will be reduced.
Equity release is a big financial commitment, so understanding what it would mean for you and your family is really important. Here’s an overview of the key considerations
Take your first step by arranging a call with a UK-based equity release adviser. You don’t have to commit to anything, it’s just to see if it’s an option for you. And you won’t pay a separate advice fee. Instead, we'll make a commission payment to the adviser on completion of your loan. Here are two ways to get in touch.
