LiveMore responds to today's later life lending data from UK Finance

27 February 2026

Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore, commented:

“It’s encouraging to see momentum building across other non-equity release later life lending products. This signals a broader shift in awareness, with the market increasingly recognising the full spectrum of options available to older borrowers.

“The over-50s market represents a significant growth opportunity for brokers, particularly as alternatives to equity release gain traction. Brokers do not require additional qualifications and permissions to advise on products such as Retirement Interest-Only (RIO) and Term Interest-Only (TIO) mortgages. And, while many older clients may have more complex finances, identifying the right solution is no longer the challenge it once was. With the appropriate sourcing platforms and clearly defined criteria, brokers can efficiently navigate affordability and product suitability.

“At LiveMore, our Mortgage Matcher® technology simplifies this process. In just a few easy steps, it presents a tailored range of suitable products alongside the maximum borrowing amount available.”
