At Connect Lifetime Mortgages, we understand that unlocking the value in your home is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll ever make. That’s why we focus on tailored equity release solutions designed around your individual circumstances, goals, and peace of mind. Our dedicated later-life lending specialists offer the perfect balance of expertise, compassion, and transparency, helping you enjoy financial freedom without compromising your security or legacy.
We are not general mortgage brokers; we are equity release experts. Our advisers are trained in later-life lending and authorised by the Equity Release Council, ensuring every recommendation meets the highest standards of care and compliance. Whether you’re looking to boost your retirement income, help loved ones get on the property ladder, or clear existing debts, we’ll guide you through the safest and most flexible options available.
Being independent means we have access to a wide panel of lenders, not just a select few. This allows us to find the most competitive and suitable lifetime mortgage products to fit your needs. From leading high-street banks to specialist later-life lenders, we compare the market to ensure you get the best possible outcome, not just the easiest one.
Our approach goes beyond transactions. We build trusted, lifelong relationships with our clients, offering ongoing support as your needs evolve. We take the time to understand your financial priorities, family circumstances, and plans, ensuring every solution provides both flexibility and security for years to come.
At Connect Lifetime Mortgages, we believe equity release should empower, not pressure, our clients. That’s why we prioritise clear communication, no-obligation consultations, and complete transparency on costs, risks, and benefits. With decades of combined experience, our team is here to help you release equity with confidence and peace of mind.

We typically receive commission from the lender upon completion of your transaction. This is usually a fixed percentage of the loan amount. The amount of commission varies by lender and product, but it does not affect the amount you pay under your credit agreement.

Important Considerations
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
By consolidating debts into a mortgage, you may end up paying more over the full term than you would with your existing arrangements.
The actual rate available will depend on your individual circumstances. Ask for a personalised illustration.
