Live the later life you want

At Key, we believe your later life should be lived the way you want it. But we understand that means different things for different people, which is why our specialist advice is always personal to you, so you can find the right solution for your needs.

Pay off your existing mortgage and debts


Repay your existing mortgage and debts to give yourself financial peace of mind in later life. For example, with a lifetime mortgage, there are typically no monthly repayments to make, as the loan plus roll up interest is usually repaid when the plan comes to an end, so you can concentrate on what matters most to you.

Help your family when they need it most


With a lifetime mortgage, you could access a portion of your home’s value, tax-free, to help your loved ones now, and still guarantee they’ll get a percentage of its future value when the plan comes to an end with our inheritance protection feature.

Boost your later life finances


Whether you need a cash lump sum or would like smaller amounts over time following an initial release, a Key lifetime mortgage allows you to choose what works for you to help put you in control of your finances.

Stay in the home you love


From transforming your bathroom into a wet room to installing a stair lift, by unlocking tax-free cash with a Key lifetime mortgage, you can make the changes you need to help stay in the home you love for as long as you choose.

What our customers are saying

Good service from start to finish
Dow
the whole procedure of dealing with Key was straightforward and thorough. We were told how long to expect it to take and Key kept to their word almost to the day. My wife and I are delighted with the outcome allowing us to more fully enjoy our later years.

We couldn't be happier with the service from Key. The initial advice was valuable as we were made completely clear about the advantages and disadvantages of equity release and the product was tailored to our needs. Other professionals involved in the process were very efficient and helpful.
Mrs Wendy Rideout
Everyone we dealt with were very friendly & helpful & everything went through without any problems
Anthony
Just recently completed our lifetime mortgage with Key, Alex who assisted us with this was helpful and after a few teething problems it was finalised within a few months. Equilaw were recommended and were also very prompt at finalising everything, apart from signing some documents we had little to do which was great for us Thank you we now have...
