If you're aged 55 or over and looking at different options for your financial future, one of our lifetime mortgages could help. A loan secured against your home, it’s a type of equity release that helps you release tax-free cash as a lump sum or as a series of lump sums.

  • Take a minimum loan amount of £10,000
  • No need to make monthly interest payments
  • Option to apply for more money in the future

The loan is repaid in full, along with the interest, from the sale of the property when the last borrower dies or moves into long-term care. We also offer Inheritance Protection so you can secure a proportion of the net sale proceeds of your home for your beneficiaries. This will reduce the amount you can borrow. Subject to terms and conditions.
