What is equity release?
Equity release is a way of releasing cash (equity) from your home while you still live there. The most popular type of equity release is called a lifetime mortgage, which is a loan secured on your home.
Lifetime mortgages are available to homeowners aged 55 or over. You can take the money as a lump sum, series of lump sums or as a regular income. No repayments are required until you die or move out of your home into long-term care.
Is a lifetime mortgage right for you?
Use the money however you want
Home improvements, pay off an existing mortgage or just topping up your monthly income – it’s up to you. There may be cheaper ways to borrow money
Provide an inheritance
You can protect part of the value of your home so it can still be left as an inheritance. More about equity release and your inheritance
You don't have to move home

Nothing to repay while you live in the home
