Who's the product for?

You must be aged 55 or over and receiving verifiable income. For joint applications, both of you must be aged 55 or over and each of you must be able to individually satisfy affordability.

You can use the sale of your home as your repayment strategy provided you have a minimum of 40% equity in the property. Applications for capital raising purposes can be considered.

Where you are buying your home in joint names you must demonstrate the mortgage is affordable should either borrower die. This can be established either by a transfer of pension rights, a specific life policy to clear the mortgage balance or any joint investments.

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 £1,319.09, followed by 24 monthly payments of £1,277.02 and 395 monthly payments of £1,928.43.
