Get online with equity release scheme

People over 50 now make up almost a third of the UK's web-based population, so why not release a little equity from your house and join them?

The study by the UK Online Measurement Company (UKOM) also discovered that over the last year, a million new silver surfers took their first steps onto the internet.

If getting online interests you, why not visit a friend's house to have a bit of a play on their computer and try out an online equity release calculator to see how much you can get from your house?

If you like what you see, you could get a lifetime mortgage to make your computer purchase and then the online world would be your oyster.

Last month, broadband provider TalkTalk revealed that it was supporting a range of schemes which aimed to get more silver surfers online.
