Retirement mortgages

We’re proud to support mortgage customers of all ages and our Retirement Interest Only mortgages are aimed to meet the needs of borrowers aged 55 and above who are looking to release equity, remortgage with us or move home. Customers must have a household income of a minimum of £20,000 per annum (after deductions), typically a pension. Our retirement mortgage has no set end date, giving peace of mind that your mortgage term isn’t coming to an end. Here you’ll find all the information you need to know about our Retirement mortgages.

Mortgages are secured against your home. You could lose your home if you do not keep up payments on your mortgage.

The APRC is based on a mortgage which runs for 18 years. The 18 year term and the APRC are used for illustration purposes only, as the Retirement Mortgage does not have a set term. The actual APRC will depend on how long the mortgage actually runs for. To compare mortgages from different lenders you will need to obtain illustrations for the same term.

Only available with Property and Financial Lasting Power of Attorney. The amount we will lend will depend on the value of the property and a calculation based on income and expenditure.

We apply the following multipliers to the amount remaining:

Over £50,000	5.0x	5.0x

These multiples are for guidance only and do not guarantee that we will lend the amount indicated. We will carry out a full assessment of your clients income and expenditure to ensure that they can afford the mortgage both now and in the future.

Underwriting:	We take a flexible approach to underwriting and will consider each case on its merits. We do not credit score. The actual rate and APRC for the case will depend on your clients circumstances and our assessment of the risk.
