An applicant aged 70 can access LTVs up to 38%, and applicants from age 80 can access LTVs up to 48%.

The products are the first to be launched by Responsible Lending since Royal London acquired the Responsible Group.

The pricing approach offers customers rates specific to their circumstances.

Customers can access higher LTVs and lower borrowing costs, bridging the divide between equity release and mainstream mortgages.

Legal & General Home Finance has adopted finova's Optimo decisioning solution.

The product bridges the gap between full interest serving mortgages and full roll-up lifetime mortgages.

more2life has committed to a 48-hour turnaround as part of the new service.

The new rules extend protection to mandatory payment lifetime mortgages and all advice conversations must now cover income and expenditure.

Existing customers can now access further advances up to the age of 90.

In addition to the higher LTVs, the product is now available to applicants aged 60 and above, and on both single and joint life basis.
