About
Everhome
Everhome is the UK's first modern viager marketplace, giving homeowners aged 65 and over a way to unlock the value of their property while continuing to live in it for life. Unlike equity release — which creates debt — a viager is a property sale in which the homeowner retains a lifetime right of residence. Everhome brings this established French model to the UK, operating a regulated home reversion platform that connects homeowners with ethical long-term investors.
For your records
Everhome is a trading name. Home reversion plans are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Independent financial advice is required before any transaction proceeds.
