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.

Key market statistics

The market
opportunity

~15%

of French property transactions are viager

3.5 million

UK homeowners aged 65+ with no pension savings

Millions of homeowners are property-rich and income-poor — and running out of options.

The platform

What Everhome
does

Debt-free equity unlock

Homeowners sell a share of their property and receive a lump sum (and optional monthly income), with a legal right to stay in their home for life — no debt, no interest, no monthly repayments.

Regulated marketplace

Everhome operates as a regulated home reversion marketplace under FCA supervision, connecting homeowners with vetted long-term property investors.

Fair pricing and transparency

Every transaction is independently valued. Homeowners receive plain-English explanations and independent legal advice before any agreement is signed.
