However, while many have suffered due to this, one particular group is
benefitting financially from increased house prices.

"The cost of living crisis is hurting people of all ages and the rally has
stretched affordability to breaking point for younger buyers.

"However, for retirees, it’s a different story.

"Many homeowners approaching retirement, or already retired, are being offered
some protection by the strength of their biggest asset."

He continued: "For those in later life lucky enough to have benefited to this
degree, the boom will have provided some welcome headroom in retirement.

"In fact, fewer homeowners will end up needing a lifetime mortgage early in
retirement or at all.

"Retirement Interest Only Mortgages (RIOMs) are another way of paying off
traditional home loans but passing affordability tests has been challenging in
the past due to rules surrounding sole survivor income.

"Shrinking LTVs will have made them accessible to many more homeowners, while
others will have much greater scope to borrow against the wealth locked up in
their home.”
