Frequently asked questions

Will I still own my home?
Yes. With a lifetime mortgage, you remain the owner. Interest is added to the loan and repaid when the plan ends (usually when the last borrower dies or enters long‑term care).
What about RIO mortgages?
A Retirement Interest‑Only (RIO) mortgage lets you pay interest monthly with no set end date, typically repaid from the sale of your home when the last borrower dies or moves into long‑term care.
Can I move home later?
Potentially, subject to lender criteria and the new property being acceptable. Early repayment charges may apply.
Will this affect my benefits?
Releasing funds can affect entitlement to means‑tested benefits. We provide a benefits check as part of our advice so you can make an informed decision.

Important information

Equity release may involve a Lifetime Mortgage or a Retirement Interest Only (RIO) mortgage. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Releasing equity will reduce the value of your estate and may affect your entitlement to means‑tested benefits. Your property must be maintained and insured. Independent legal advice is required. If other people live in the property, they may need to sign an Occupier's Consent and could be required to vacate if the property is sold.
