The changing face of later life finance
We’ve worked with the Equity Release Council and other industry experts to investigate ten trends disrupting the traditional retirement landscape. Our new report examines these trends and unpicks how they’ll influence the way future generations manage their retirement finances.
Shifts in attitude and changing market forces are reforming our approach to financial security and later life money management. Home advantage: intergenerational perspectives on property wealth in later life offers insight into how new trends have altered the life experiences of adults now in their thirties and in their sixties, focusing on pension provision and property ownership.
Key areas explored in the report:
- The legacy of pension freedoms and low interest rates leading to new, more flexible ways of achieving retirement income security
- Increasing property costs and challenges around affordability are resulting in more homeowners taking out longer term mortgages that will need to be provisioned for
- Changing perceptions over the role of property wealth in funding retirement, with a growing acceptance of debt in later life
“Nearly three in four (74%) homeowners in their thirties are open to accessing money from the value of their property in later life.”
