Lifetime Mortgages
With a lifetime mortgage the amount that can be borrowed depends on your age (or the age of the youngest applicant, if there's two of you) and the value of your property, up to a maximum of 56% of the property's value. The table below gives an indication of the amount some equity release providers may be prepared to lend.
How much could you release?
Example: Mr Jones is 70 and owns a home worth £180,000. He decides to rrelease some of the equity in his property to supplement his retirement income, fund home improvements and replace his car. With a lifetime mortgage plan, he could raise a maximum of £67,500 (37.5%).

Home Reversion
With a Home Reversion Scheme you have the option to sell 100% of your property or only sell part of your property, for example 25%, 50% or 75%. As a result you will raise less money than if you sold 100%.
