Equity Release could fund elderly parents’ care for 50% of adult children
Recent research from Liverpool Victoria (LV=) has revealed that releasing equity from a parents’ home could fund the cost of care for half of UK adult children.
LV= estimate that the average cost of caring for an elderly parent is £132,000, which is why so many would potentially use equity release to cover such high costs.
Based on average savings balances, adult children would be able to fund residential care home fees for just 17 weeks. As a result 50% of adult children surveyed said that their parents would release equity from their property to fund their care costs.
Get expert advice before deciding on equity release
Chief Executive of Age Partnership, Tim Loy said “Using equity release to fund home alterations and domiciliary care costs means that people can stay in their homes for longer. This is generally a better alternative to selling the property to fund care costs, however, it is important that expert equity release advice is sought before any decisions are made”.
