Later Life Lending

 

Recently we helped a 62-year-old client nearing the end of their mortgage term. Facing intense pressure to pay off the loan, the client feared they would be forced to sell their family home.

 > Key obstacles included:

  • Age: He required a mortgage term extending to retirement at age 80.
  • Income: Reliant on self-employed earnings from the most recent year’s accounts.
  • Credit history: Past blips meant limited access to many other lenders.
  • End-of-Term pressure: Risked losing home due to lender’s demand for full repayment.
  • Interest-Only preference: Needed to keep monthly payments manageable.

> Our Specialist Lending Solution

  • Extended term: Approved a 17-year mortgage aligned with retirement plans.
  • Interest-Only structure: Offered a £300,000 loan with affordable monthly payments.
  • Can-do underwriting: Accepted the latest accounts, viewing minor credit issues as immaterial.
Our client told us that our service was spot on and we literally saved the client’s home”.

We’re keen to help more clients aged 50 to 90+, even in situations where other lenders cannot.

Please let us know if we may be able to help you too!

Almost two-thirds of reports came from people 56 years old or above. According to the City watchdog, fraudsters claimed the FCA recovered funds from a crypto wallet that was opened illegally in a person’s name to get them to hand over funds or sensitive information. Another common method used is to target loan scam victims, who are often very vulnerable, with fraudsters claiming the FCA can help them recover the money they have lost.  They are then persuaded to hand over further funds. A separate scam which has emerged involves fraudsters emailing consumers telling them their creditors have taken out a County Court judgment against them and they need to pay the FCA the ...
