2 year discount lending into retirement

Who's the product for?

Affordability can be assessed using earned income up to retirement age. 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 age 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.

Representative example

A mortgage of £278,131 payable over 35 years on a discounted variable rate until 31 January 2027, currently 5.49% (equal to a 2.80% discount from our SVR) and then our SVR, currently 8.29% for the remaining term would require an initial payment of £1,539.22 followed by 24 monthly payments of £1,497.15 and 395 monthly payments of £2,021.48
