What changes as you get older. For homeowners aged 55+.
The percentage of your home's value you can unlock rises with age — at 70 and over it is typically at its most generous.
Some providers offer enhanced terms based on health and lifestyle, which can increase the amount available.
Drawdown facilities let you take money gradually, and inheritance protection can ring-fence value for your family.
Understanding how you can unlock your home's value
Equity release is, in a nutshell, a way to unlock the value of your property and turn it into cash which lets you access - or 'release' - the equity (cash) tied up in your home, if you're 55+.
The most popular type of equity release is a lifetime mortgage, which is a loan secured against your home.
You can receive the money you release in a lump sum or in several smaller amounts following an initial lump sum.
