Who's the product for?
You must be aged 55 or over and receiving verifiable income such as a salary, self-employed income and/or pension income. Benefit income can be considered, but must not be the only source of income.
You can use the sale of your home as your repayment strategy, if you have a minimum of 40% equity in the property. Alternatively, if the mortgage is affordable in sole name, this will be accepted. If you are moving an existing mortgage to us from another lender, we will consider applications where you wish to borrow more than you currently owe.
For joint applications, you must be able to prove the mortgage is affordable in the event that either borrower passes away. You can do this by either a transfer of pension rights, or specific life policy to clear the mortgage balance of any join investments.
The mortgage must be repaid following a life event, including:
- death of the sole borrower or the surviving borrower for joint mortgages;
- sole borrower or surviving borrower for joint mortgages entering long-term residential care; or
- sale of the property.

Product related fees
There is an arrangement fee of £999. This fee can be taken off the mortgage amount, or you can add the fee to the amount you borrow. If you choose to add the arrangement fee to your mortgage you will pay interest on the fee at the same rate as your mortgage. If you choose to take the arrangement fee off the mortgage, this will be deducted from the amount you borrow and so, you will need to pay the arrangement fee to your solicitor at completion.

Early Repayment Charges
Early Repayment Charges apply during the product term. You can overpay up to 10% of the original mortgage amount each calendar year without charge.

The Early Repayment Charge will be calculated at:
- 4% of the amount repaid until 29 February 2024;
- 3% of the amount repaid until 28 February 2025;
- 2% of the amount repaid until 28 February 2026; and
- 1% of the amount repaid until 28 February 2027.

- Can I make overpayments on my mortgage?

What is a mortgage overpayment?
A mortgage overpayment is where you choose to pay back more than your committed monthly repayments. This can be as and when you wish, or a regular overpayment.Can I make mortgage overpayments?
You should check your mortgage product terms and conditions before you make an overpayment. Many mortgages will have Early Repayment Charges. This means that the lender will limit the amount you are able to overpay, if you exceed this limit you may incur Early Repayment Charges.Benefits of mortgage overpayments
Making overpayments can help to reduce the amount of interest you pay back on your mortgage. It can also help you to pay your mortgage off sooner, so become mortgage free quicker!While you can do this by reducing your mortgage term, an overpayment is not a set commitment, meaning that if you decide you wish to just pay your normal monthly repayment for a period, this is ok. However, if you lower your mortgage term the higher monthly repayment will be a commitment and must be paid regardless.
Calculating a mortgage overpayment
If you would like to know how much you can overpay on your mortgage, you can call your mortgage lender for an exact calculation.However, if you wish to work this out yourself, you will need information regarding the fee structuring. For example, if you are able to overpay 10% of the amount owed each year, you will need to multiply the amount you owe by 0.1.
Examples of mortgage overpayments
Examples of calculating your mortgage overpayment are below:You owe £100,000, you are able to overpay 10%. £100,000 x 0.1 = £10,000
You owe £100,000, you are able to overpay 5%. £100,000 x 0.05 = £5,000You owe £250,000, you are able to overpay 10%. £250,000 x 0.1 = £25,000
You owe £250,000, you are able to overpay 5%. £250,000 x 0.05 = £12,500close

- How much is a valuation fee?
-
A standard valuation report is used to calculate how much we will lend you. This is separate from any valuation or survey of the property you might want to commission for your own use. There are other homebuyers or structural survey options available to you at additional cost.
Some of our mortgages offer free valuations and the product pages will tell you if this is the case. Our mortgage valuation charges page will provide details of the costs incurred for both a standard valuation and the more detailed homebuyers report.
