Unlock the value of your home, while staying right where you belong. 

A lifetime mortgage is a way to release equity (cash) from your home without having to sell it. It’s a form of equity release, designed mainly for homeowners aged 55 and over. 

With a lifetime mortgage, you remain the owner of your property and continue living there. The loan, plus any interest, is repaid when your home is sold — usually when you pass away or move into long-term care.

How Does It Work?

  • You borrow against the value of your home.
  • You can take the money as a lump sum, smaller payments over time, or a mix of both.
  • Interest is added to the loan — though some plans let you make voluntary repayments.
  • When your home is eventually sold, the loan and interest are repaid from the proceeds.

Key Benefits of a Lifetime Mortgage

✅ Access tax-free cash tied up in your property 

✅ Stay in your home for life 

✅ Choose between a lump sum, smaller amounts over time, or flexible drawdowns 

✅ Some plans allow you to protect part of your home’s value to leave as inheritance 

✅ Regulated products with clear safeguards to protect you 

Things to Consider

It’s important to make an informed decision. Lifetime mortgages aren’t right for everyone. 

⚠️ Interest can build up quickly if unpaid, reducing the value of your estate 

⚠️ May reduce the amount of inheritance left for your loved ones 

⚠️ Could affect entitlement to means-tested benefits 

 

That’s why independent advice is essential — and that’s exactly what we provide at Browning Rose Financial.
