What is equity release?

It’s a way of allowing you to unlock cash from the value of your home when reaching 55+ years of age. You can use some of the value of your house to give you a tax-free lump sum allowing you some options to pay off any outstanding loans, support your children with their futures, or simply enjoy your later years.

What is Aviva's equity release solution?

It’s a Lifetime Mortgage which is a long term loan secured on your property. You don’t have to make any monthly payments, instead interest is charged on the total borrowing and any interest previously added which quickly increases the amount you owe. The loan and interest are repaid in full, usually from the sale of your property, when you (and your partner, for a joint lifetime mortgage) die or go into long-term care, as defined in the Terms and Conditions.

A lifetime mortgage allows you to fund your lifestyle in your later years but you should always ensure you have looked at all the benefits and risks before embarking on an equity release solution, as well as taking financial and legal advice.

Is it suitable for me?

Any financial decision requires careful thought and planning, but in order to be eligible for Equity Release you must be over 55 and own your own property worth at least £75,000. All applications are subject to Terms and Conditions.

You will only have to pay interest on the money you actually borrow and there is the option for repayments (subject to terms and conditions) if you wish to make them.
Select the option to guarantee some inheritance by allowing a percentage of your property’s value to be put aside (this will reduce the amount you can borrow)

Interest is added to both your loan and the interest already added annually, which quickly increases the amount you owe. The full amount will be repaid, usually from the sale of your home, after you’ve died or moved into long-term care, subject to Aviva’s Terms and Conditions.

The Equity Release Lifetime Mortgage is a lifetime commitment. If you decide to end your lifetime mortgage early you will have to repay the loan and interest, and you may have to pay a substantial early repayment charge. A financial adviser will explain this to you.
