Plans to help elderly owners of a property to utilise its capital value to their advantage
(by providing an income) and still remain in residence. A financial institution provides a loan to a borrower which

enought income to repay the interest on the loan and to spend as they wish.

is used by the original owners to buy an annuity that provides them with a regular income. When the original owner dies, the
institution recieves the proceeds of the property including any increase in value.
