Whilst property prices and the cost of maintenance is front of mind for many homeowners, the fluctuation of mortgage rates over the last few weeks means that now is an important time to consider: is downsizing the only option?

• New Saga research found nearly one in five over 50s homeowners have downsized, a total of nearly four million people.
• Of those who have made the move, the most common reasons were to reduce the cost and time of maintenance.
• Although more over 50s are considering downsizing, it is still an unpopular move for many.
• There are a number of alternative options to release equity from homes, including lifetime mortgages, re-mortgaging or taking out a Retirement-Interest-Only option.
