My equity release application had been rejected 3 times when I was referred to Peter at Later Life. He was extremely thorough, patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us with every step of the application and explained everything clearly and patiently. We finally succeeded in getting the equity release we wanted. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their service goes above and beyond. Very happy customers!

Paul did a first class job helping me secure a great rate for my equity release proposition. I like the idea of equity release but at the right rate Paul was competitive and at the expense of his own commission made it happen. I really felt I was the focus not him. The big firms with the fancy marketing were almost twice as much in terms of all- important compound interest. I highly recommend Paul, he works for you, not 'them'. I also felt safe with the solicitors he recommended, they too sent a first class guy who was a pleasure to work with. Equity release is not cheap, it's vital that people like Paul work for your best interest (pun intended). What price can you place on the latter peace of mind having financial security brings. Highly delighted.

We have used Paul's services twice in just over a year. Initially it was to change provider as better interes rates were available. On the annual review it transpired that no early repayment charges would be levied. Being a Yorkshire man l searched for best rates, providers and advisors and it was back to Paul. I have no loyalty where money is concerned but transparency, knowledge and reliability are paramount. That's exactly what we got. Good service, excellent communication, expedience and saved money. Second time around not even a direct fee to pay for the service. Another provider did come up with an option however their fees were somewhat prohibitive, when l brought this to their attention they offered to slash the fee. Not good practice. So after all the waffle. I have no reservations in recommending Paul's services.

Equity release percentage by age

When it comes to equity release, the percentage of equity that can be released is determined by the age of the homeowner.

Generally, the older the homeowner, the higher the percentage they can release. This is because older homeowners are seen as having a shorter life expectancy and therefore a shorter period of time in which to repay the loan. As a result, they are able to release a larger percentage of their home’s value, providing them with more money to use as they wish.

If you’re a homeowner aged 55 or over, you may be able to release between 23% and 50% of the value of your home using an equity release lifetime mortgage. 

While those in their late 70s or 80s could potentially release up to 50% or more.

We explore the points to consider further in the article below.

However, it’s important to note that the exact percentage will vary depending on factors such as the homeowner’s health, the value of the property, and the chosen equity release plan. It’s always advisable to seek professional advice to understand the specific equity release options and percentages available based on individual circumstances.
