What equity release products could you get?
Equity release products aren’t just limited to a lump sum. There are options available to you
Lifetime Mortgage Lump Sum
A lifetime mortgage lump sum gets you a single cash sum, using money from your home. There’s no requirement to make monthly payments, as the loan will be paid back when the property is sold.
Lifetime Mortgage Drawdown
If a lump sum isn’t what you’re looking for, then the drawdown option may be right for you. You can release cash over time when you need it.
Home Reversion Plans
With home reversion, you sell part or all of your property to a home reversion provider. They give you a tax-free lump sum, and you get to live in the property rent-free, maintaining the property as you would normally.
Please note LV= does not offer a home reversion plan.

Our equity release advice service
To help you access money from the value of your home, we provide an equity release advice service. Everything we do at LV= is focused on giving you honest advice and finding you a suitable equity release plan from the whole of the market with the fastest, friendliest service.
Equity release may involve a home reversion plan or lifetime mortgage, which is secured against your property and may reduce the value of your estate and impact funding long-term care. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration. Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage. Any money released, plus accrued interest, would be repaid when you die or if you're moving into long-term care.
We believe that everyone should have access to independent, regulated financial advice. It should not be seen as a luxury for the few who can afford it or who are experienced in using it. Why? Because it provides financial and emotional benefits.
Good advice ensures better financial outcomes and frees people from the worry of making complex decisions that could have long-term implications.
Equity Release may not be right for everyone and there may be alternative options to consider. As part of our service, we will highlight this to you if appropriate.
