What is a lifetime mortgage?
A lifetime mortgage is a type of equity release, a loan secured against your home that allows you to release tax-free cash without needing to move out.
Lifetime mortgages are available to homeowners aged 55 or over. You can take the money as a lump sum or as series of lump sums. No repayments are required until you die or move out of your home into long-term care.
Whether you're looking to pay off an existing mortgage, make some home improvements, or gift money to a family member, a lifetime mortgage could help.
Is a lifetime mortgage right for you?
Use the money however you want
You could release money from your home tax-free and use it to pay off your existing mortgage or increase your income in retirement. 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
You don't have to move home
A lifetime mortgage means you can stay in your own home, but still access the money tied up in it
