3 year fixed remortgaging into retirement

Who's the product for?

Affordability can be assessed using earned income up to retirement age. Our lending into retirement products allow you to borrow into retirement, or if you are already retired. Once you reach retirement, affordability for the remainder of the term will be calculated using verifiable income from a pension or other sustainable source, such as investments or rental income.

With our lending into retirement products, affordability can be assessed in a number of ways:

1. If the term does not extend past 79 (for males) or age 83 (for females), then our standard affordability assessment can be applied. Please note, if you have an interest only application you will still need to meet our standard interest only criteria in terms of repayment vehicles.
2. Where the term extends past these ages if both applicants are retired but cannot prove affordability in sole name, applications will be considered where there is enough equity available to downsize to a two-bedroom flat/house within 25 miles of the mortgage 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. However, if the overpayment exceeds 10%, the mortgage is repaid in full, or switched to another product before the end of the product term then the full amount of the Early Repayment Charge will apply.

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.

Representative example

A mortgage of £175,000 payable over 20 years initially on a fixed rate to 28 February 2027, currently 5.99% and then our SVR, currently 8.59%, for the remaining term would require an initial payment of £1,288.93 followed by 37 monthly payments of £1,259.90 and 202 monthly payments of £1,500.77

The total amount payable would be £351,235.77 made up of the mortgage amount plus interest (£176,060.77), with a £999 arrangement fee, a mortgage valuation fee of £25, a telegraphic transfer fee of £25 and mortgage exit fees of £125.

The overall cost for comparison is 7.9% APRC representative.
