]]> Increasing numbers of older homeowners are choosing to release equity, latest figures1 reveal, with cost-of-living pressures the main reason for tapping into the value of their home.

In total, homeowners used equity release to borrow £6.2bn in 2022, a 29% yearly rise and a doubling in the amount borrowed since 2017. It’s not only higher amounts being borrowed; there are now more individual equity release plans too. In 2022, 93,421 people chose to release wealth from their property, up 23% from a year earlier.
