Understand it before you commit
A reverse mortgage lets you draw on the equity in your home without selling it, but interest compounds over time and it affects the equity that remains. We walk through the implications clearly.
How we help
Reverse mortgages
Later-life lending can help you access the equity in your home, but it is a significant decision. We explain how it works and what it means over time so you can weigh it up properly.
Weigh it up with the people who matter
These decisions often involve family. We are happy to talk it through with you and, where you want, the people you trust, so the choice is made with eyes open.
Common questions
What is a reverse mortgage?
It is a way to borrow against the equity in your home later in life without having to sell it or make regular repayments. The loan is usually repaid when the home is sold or from your estate.
Does interest compound?
Yes. Interest is added to the loan over time, so the balance grows and the equity remaining in your home reduces. We walk through what that looks like over time before any decision is made.
Can family members be involved in the conversation?
Absolutely. These decisions often involve family, and we are happy to include the people you trust so the choice is made with everyone informed.
How does it affect the equity remaining in my home?
Because interest compounds, the equity left in your home reduces over time. How much depends on the amount borrowed, the interest rate and how long the loan runs. We explain this clearly so you can weigh it up.
Is a reverse mortgage the only later-life option?
No. It is one option among several. We will talk through the broad alternatives and implications so you can decide what suits your circumstances.
