Later Life Lending - our specialist subject

12 Apr 2019

Do you have clients who were turned down by high street lenders simply because of their age? 

Here, at the Family Building Society, we specialise in helping your clients not well served by the big banks. We don't use computers. We use common sense and real human beings to underwrite your mortgage cases, so not only can we lend to your clients in later life, but we do so with generous terms. 

What's more, we've been doing this for years! 

What makes us different? 

  • We have a personal approach to lending and manually underwrite all our mortgages. 
  • We offer generous mortgage terms for older borrowers:
    • Owner Occupier repayment mortgages – up to a maximum age of 95 at the end of the term 
    • Owner Occupier interest only and Buy to Let mortgages – up to a maximum age of 89 when the loan commences
  • We’ll take into account earned income up to the age of 70 and pension income beyond that.
  • We can also accept rental and investment income that can be evidenced on an SA302.
