  • Cautiously optimistic? : UK households' perceptions of old age, retirement and the role of housing equity
    Jones, Anwen ; Bevan, Mark ; Quilgars, Deborah, 1965-
    The paper explores UK home owners' expectations of income and care in older age and their views on using housing equity. Findings suggest a lack of confidence in the ability of the state to provide ... adequate retirement income and care. Most households were confident that they could build sufficient savings and assets to meet their needs. Younger respondents were more willing to consider drawing on housing equity than older people, however, they too were suspicious of equity release products. Overall, people tended to favour downsizing over other options as they wished to retain a property to bequeath to their children.
