How later life lending plans work.

Over 55 equity release unlocks the wealth in your home, so you can access it now to help loved ones or strengthen your financial position by providing a tax-free sum, with the option for staged payments.
You must be over 55 and own your own home, and the amount you can release depends upon the value of your property and your age (get an idea how much you could borrow with our borrowing guide).

There are three different types of equity release plans: lifetime mortgages, home reversion plans and retirement-interest-only mortgages (RIOs).

As members of the Equity Release Council, all lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans come with guarantees that, as long as the client keeps to the terms and conditions of the plan, they will never be turned out of their home and a negative equity debt will never be passed on to their beneficiaries.

This ensures that your equity release plan is tailored to suit your needs, with the trusted advice of an expert adviser at every step of the way.
