Do you have an existing lifetime mortgage?

-

The equity release market has grown substantia­lly, with the number of plans available rising each year. If you have an existing lifetime mortgage that’s more than a year old, then you could review your plan to see if you may be able access a better plan than was previously available to you.

Current market conditions

Lifetime mortgage interest rates from leading lenders are currently some of the lowest we’ve seen, so you could save thousands of pounds over the course of the plan in interest compared to your current plan.

Plus, Nationwide has reported average UK house prices have risen by nearly nine per cent in the past three years alone meaning that you could release more money from your home to spend on anything else you wish.
