Statistics from the Equity Release Council highlight the trends seen in the market last year [1].<\/em><\/p>\n

Less lending<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the report, annual lending totalled \u00a32.6bn in 2023 \u2013 significantly lower than the record-breaking \u00a36.2bn seen in 2022. This returned the equity release market to a level of activity that was last seen between 2016-2017 (\u00a32.1bn to \u00a33.1bn).<\/p>\n

Fewer new customers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decline in lending is partly due to a drop in the number of new equity release customers. In 2023, the number of new plans agreed decreased by 47% year-on-year to 26,119. Those that did enter the market were also borrowing less \u2013 the average new lump sum customer reduced their loan size by 26%, making last year the first time since 2019 that this kind of borrowing was below \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n

Preferences changing<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2022, lump sum lifetime mortgages made up 52% of new product sales. This trend was reversed last year, with 53% opting for the flexibility of a drawdown lifetime mortgage.<\/p>\n

Expert opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chair of the Equity Release Council, David Burrowes, commented, \u201cEvery corner of the mortgage market saw rising interest rates put the brakes on activity in 2023, and equity release was no exception with customers and their advisers taking a cautious approach. This resulted in loan sizes shrinking and fewer people borrowing for more aspirational reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
