Mortgages for Later Life

Many people assume they can’t get a mortgage in later life. While older borrowers may face unique challenges, suitable mortgage solutions can be secured with the proper knowledge.

Jane Jackson Financial Solutions collaborates with lenders who appreciate the value of experience and equity. Whether you need a mortgage that works around retirement plans, pension income, or changing circumstances, you can talk through the options and application process in-person.

From initial consultation through to completion, your mortgage application will be managed with dedicated support, including lender communications, and solicitor liaison. Typically, applications can take around eight weeks, although some extenuating circumstances may increase this timeframe.

Are you still working or have a good retirement income? You might need funds for a home project, want to pay off debts, or need to repay an existing interest-only mortgage. Some lenders will consider applications up to age 80 if you have earned income, or with no age limits if you have pension income. Approval depends on your current income and whether it is expected to continue in the future – you can discuss these options during your initial consultation.

A Lifetime Mortgage is not suitable for everyone and may affect your entitlement to means tested benefits, so it is important to seek financial advice before taking any action. If you are considering releasing equity from your home, you should consider all options available before equity release.

The interest that may be accrued over the long term with a Lifetime Mortgage, may mean it is not the cheapest solution. As interest is charged on both the original loan and the interest that has been added, the amount you owe will increase over time, reducing the equity left in your home and the value of any inheritance, potentially to nothing.

Although the final decision is yours, you are encouraged to discuss your plans with your family and beneficiaries, as a Lifetime Mortgage could have an impact on any potential inheritance. We would also encourage you to invite them to join any meetings with your Financial Adviser so they can ask questions and join in the decision, as we believe it is better to discuss your decision with them before you go ahead.
