Do I qualify for a Lifetime Mortgage?
Apply Now
Getting approved for a lifetime mortgage is generally more straightforward than taking out a traditional repayment mortgage. Being approved is primarily subject to you being able to answer `Yes` to the following questions:
Are you aged between 55 And 90?
Is your property worth more than £70,000?
Do you own your own home? (With or without a Mortgage is fine)
Looking to borrow between £10,000 & £500,000?
Do you currently live in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland?
If you can answer `yes` to these questions the next step is to find out your options without any obligation or pressure whatsoever.

The funds can be used for virtually any legal purpose. Some common examples are listed below:
Additional tax-free income to improve lifestyle.
Carry out renovations or improvements to the home.
Clear an existing interest-only mortgage on the property.
Help family members pay for wedding or university fees.
Assist children or grandchildren with a deposit for a home.
Make a major purchase such as a new car, a caravan, or a luxury holiday.
To consolidate burgeoning debts such as credit cards and loans.
Neither of these circumstances will prevent you from being accepted. Lenders are primarily concerned with the current condition of your home and the amount of equity you have in it. We also have lenders and plans who will accept you even with adverse credit.
Low Income – Because you have the flexibility regards paying the interest on your mortgage, your current level of income is not usually an issue. In fact, one of the most common reasons for utilising a lifetime mortgage is to increase your income.
Adverse Credit – Most lenders do not take adverse credit into consideration.
Poor Health - As we get older many of us will, unfortunately, have health issues. In terms of a lifetime mortgage, being in poor health would not prevent you taking out the loan. We have enhanced plans for people who are in, or have been in, poor health.
There are primarily 3 variations to the lifetime mortgage product range.
Interest Roll-Up - make no monthly payments at all. The interest charged is rolled up into the loan, with the original loan plus accrued interest repaid when the borrower(s) moves property, or the last remaining borrower goes into residential care or dies.
Interest Only - the borrower makes regular monthly interest only payments, to reduce the level of interest being rolled up. The loan is only repaid when the borrowers(s) move property, or the last remaining borrower goes into residential care, or dies.
Optional Payments - the borrower can choose to pay some, or all, of the monthly interest, but you can also stop making monthly payments at any time. Most products will allow you to make overpayments of up to 10% of the mortgage each year should you choose this option.
