5 year fixed retirement interest only

Who's the product for?

Your client must be aged 55 or over and receiving verifiable income. For joint applications, both of your clients must be aged 55 or over and each applicant must be able to individually satisfy affordability.

Your clients can use the sale of their home as their repayment strategy provided they have a minimum of 40% equity in their property. Up to 25% of the property value can be released for capital raising purposes.

Where the case is in joint names the clients must demonstrate the loan is affordable upon the death of either borrower. This can be established either by a transfer of pension rights, a specific life policy to clear the mortgage balance or any joint investments.
