Equity Release is a means of using the value of your home to receive either a lump sum of cash or regular monthly instalments. In all instances, age is the primary factor in determining the percentage of the value of your home that can be released.
A person of an older age can release a higher percentage of the value of their home, than a person of a younger age, as they are not expected to live as long.
There is no maximum age limit for equity release, although applications are not usually granted for anyone under the age of fifty five.
