'A mortgage in retirement? Shut the front door!'

7 Mar 2025

When we speak to new brokers, one of the most common things we hear is 'Wow! I didn't know you did that!'

Lending to borrowers in later life with complicated income streams isn't always straight forward, but being able to look at each application on a case-by-case basis makes a huge difference.

With our manual underwriting approach, team of local Business Development Managers, generous lending criteria and innovative products - we strive to find a way to lend to your clients.

We take great pride in how we do things, and it works.

How can we help? 

  • We take into account earned income up to the age of 70, or even 75 if the client is in a non-manual role.
  • Other income can be considered on a case-by-case basis, such as:
    – Up to 90% of investments or pension pots (divided by the mortgage term)
    – State and private pensions
    – Rental income
    – Stocks and shares ISAs
    – Remuneration drawn by limited company directors (where the applicant is not actively running the day-to-day business operation).
  • We lend in retirement with higher maximum ages than most lenders:
    – Owner Occupier repayment mortgages, up to a maximum age of 95 at the end of term
    – Owner Occupier Interest-Only and Buy to Let mortgages, up to a maximum age of 89 when the loan commences.
  • We have a common sense approach to lending and use human beings, not robots, to underwrite each case. This means we can tailor our solutions to each of your clients' needs.
