Get specialist equity release advice

Your call will be answered by our dedicated team who can provide you with information and answer any questions on Aviva’s lifetime mortgage. They can also book an appointment for you to speak to an Aviva equity release adviser who can provide you with financial advice, an illustration and submit an application if you choose to proceed. You don’t have to commit to anything, and you won’t need to pay an advice fee, instead we’ll make a commission payment to your adviser upon completion of your loan. If you need to borrow more at a later date, you will need to get financial advice again and an advice fee will apply, which will be payable upon completion of your loan to your adviser.
