UK Equity Release and Later-Life Lending Statistics 2026
This page gathers the most-quoted statistics on later-life lending and equity release in the UK, from annual lending volumes to average lifetime mortgage rates, each drawn from a named primary source. It is a scaffold: figures are added only when a primary source is confirmed and checked. It is information, not financial advice. Last updated June 2026. Every figure below links
to its primary source.
Methodology and sources
Every statistic on this page is taken from a named primary source and links
to the original record so you can verify it. We do not republish figures
from secondary blogs. The page is reviewed and the figures refreshed on a
regular cadence; the "last updated" date reflects the most recent
substantive change, not an automated rebuild.
