Joan Anderson, who is a member of charity Age Concern which supports older people in Guernsey, said she would use an ERM to purchase a stairlift in her home.
“I’m managing the stairs at the moment very slow”, she said.
“I don’t want to sort of go head over heels and do flashy things, it’s just something small that’s more necessary.”
Anderson said she felt in terms of States priorities, “the old pensioners are left at the end”.
“I just want to stay in my own home while I can, and look out to my own garden.”
Older homeowners in the UK took £636m of wealth from their property in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the Equity Release Council.
