Who offers equity release lending these days?

You’ll know some of the ‘household brand’ names on the list, but a lot of lifetime mortgage providers are specialist in this area only, so wont be so familiar:

- Liverpool Victoria
- Legal & General
- Royal London
- Canada Life
- Aviva
- Just Retirement
- Riverton Finance
- Livemore
- More2Life
- Pure Retirement

There are hundreds of products available these days, and any one lender often has several different arms of funding too, so knowing who is offering the cheapest or the most flexible products for you, as well as which lenders and products are right for your particular property is incredibly important. You’ll probably only get this complete knowledge by using a specialist and whole of market advisor that can recommend the best product currently available for your needs and goals, both now and in the future! 😊

But I’m biased of course 😉
