If for any reason we are unable to help you with your interest only mortgage, there may still be the option of a lifetime mortgage through our partner, Legal & General.

What is a lifetime mortgage?

A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home which can be used to pay off your interest only mortgage balance. Lifetime mortgages are usually repaid from the sale of your home when the last surviving borrower dies or moves out of their home and into long-term care. Of course, any money left over would be available to you or your beneficiaries.

A lifetime mortgage can let you;

  • Repay your mortgage balance in full and any early repayment charges with us
  • Carry on owning and living in your home
  • Pay some, all or none of the monthly interest
  • Potentially release further equity from your property for home improvements or to improve your lifestyle into retirement

A lifetime mortgage may not be right for everyone. They are only available to customers who are over 55 years old and meet certain criteria. Any unpaid interest is added to the loan, which will increase the amount you owe over time. There are lots of factors to consider so it’s important you get the right advice for your situation.
