Mortgages

Residential Mortgages

If you have a steady income that can cover the repayments, you might be eligible for a standard resident mortgage.

Residential Mortgages explained

You can choose between two repayment options: capital repayments or interest-only repayments.

Getting a mortgage later in life might seem counterintuitive, but it doesn’t have to be. Most mortgages may be longer than 25 years, but there are plenty of options available for those aged over 50, and even if you're past retirement.

Let’s explore the ins and outs of getting a mortgage when you’re over 50.

What is the eligibility criteria?

Standard residential mortgages often have upper age restrictions in the UK, but some mortgages offer more flexibility. The eligibility is determined by the lender.

How much can I borrow?

Most applicants can borrow up to 4-4.5 times their annual income based on mortgage affordability rules.

Do I have to make regular repayments?

Yes, you can either make interest-only repayments, or repay both the interest and the principal at the same time.

When do I have to repay the full amount of the loan?

Repayment continues until the loan is fully repaid or when the homeowner/s sells the property, passes away, or moves into long-term care.
