How much do I get for my home share?

Typically 20-60% of the market value of the share you sell, depending on your age and property value.

Can I sell just part of my home?

Yes, you can sell any percentage from 20% to 100%.

Is home reversion better than a lifetime mortgage?

Neither is universally better. Home reversion avoids interest but you receive less upfront. We'll compare both.

What happens when I die?

The property is sold and proceeds split according to ownership shares.

Home Reversion Plans

Home reversion lets you sell a share of your home while continuing to live in it rent-free. We explain how it works and whether it's right for you.

Home Reversion Plans Explained

A home reversion plan involves selling all or part of your home to a reversion company in exchange for a tax-free lump sum or regular payments. You retain the right to live in the property rent-free for life.

How Home Reversion Works

You sell a percentage of your home (typically 20-100%) to a reversion company at below market value (usually 20-60% of the share's true value). In return, you receive a lump sum and retain the right to live rent-free for life.

Below Market Value

The discount reflects the company's cost of waiting — they may not receive their share for 20-30+ years. A 50% share of a £300,000 home might be purchased for £60,000-£90,000.

Inheritance Implications

The percentage you retain is guaranteed for your beneficiaries — regardless of property value changes.

Who Is It For?

Home reversion suits people who want no debt on their property, want certainty about inheritance, are older (better terms at 70+), and are comfortable selling below market value.
