Aviva’s Lifestyle Flexible Option provides borrowers with the facility to release at least £10,000 from the value of their home as a lump sum, with a tailored cash reserve of £5,000 or more also placed into a flexible drawdown arrangement. The reserved money will not accrue interest until the borrower withdraws it.

Club members will also have access to a Lifestyle Lump Sum Max plan, which enables them to release a tax-free lump sum of £15,000 or more.

Danny Belton, head of lender relationships at Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “Today’s announcement is testament to our commitment to delivering a market-leading proposition that allows advisers to find a suitable product for their client, no matter their need.

Stuart Robinson, managing director equity release at Aviva, added: “Legal & General Mortgage Club boasts one of the UK’s largest adviser networks.

“By working together, we expect to help many more people find and access Aviva’s Lifetime Mortgages. Aviva’s award-winning Lifetime Mortgages provide advisers with compelling options to meet their later life client needs.”
