Full press release
Aviva’s Lifestyle Flexible Option provides borrowers with the facility to release at least £10,000 from the value of their home as a lump sum, with a tailored cash reserve of £5,000 or more also placed into a flexible drawdown arrangement. The reserved money will not accrue interest until the borrower withdraws it. Club members will also have access to a Lifestyle Lump Sum Max plan, which enables them to release a tax-free lump sum of £15,000 or more.
As standard, both products offer voluntary partial repayments, downsizing protection, a 14-week interest rate guarantee, no upper age limit (applicants aged 55 and over may apply) and access to clients via an online adviser portal. Aviva also offers a personalised pricing approach with enhanced rates to customers with certain health and lifestyle factors.
Aviva has been an equity release lender for over 20 years and has supported over 260,000 customers to release more than £9 billion in housing equity.
At the 2021 What Mortgage awards, Aviva was named Best Equity Release Lender and Best Equity Release Lender Customer Service. Aviva also received the Best Equity Release Lender 2020/2021 title at the Personal Finance Awards.
