Mortgage that suits you
On time customer support
When assessing if a mortgage is appropriate, the FCA has always been very clear with mortgage companies, that the mortgage must be affordable and thus in your’ means. The FCA has never given any sort of direction as to age constraints in regards' to lending. Mortgage seekers over the age of 60 faces more difficulties in securing lending at competitive rates. When it comes to securing finance, many mortgage providers have very strict rules when it comes to age limits and lending into retirement. Mortgage companies have their own set of criteria as many deem lending to the elderly population a greater financial risk in comparison to the younger public. We do not share this view.
We think some of our more mature customers are better to lend to, as most of them have guaranteed income like pensions or revenue streams from past investments. In addition, over the development of their lifetime, they have habitually built up significant equity in their property, have successfully had credit and therefore offer a lower risk to lenders. This is in contrast to the younger generation of customers who are still making investments in our hostile environment given our economy at the moment.
A lot of our elderly customers have headed straight to the high street prior to contacting us, this is primarily due to the build-up of trust between them, however, they are being turned away, shockingly being told they are unable to obtain lending due to there age.
We try to help people over 60 who have faced a problematic time finding a competitive product. The general public is not just living longer, but they are working past retirement and those who have retired are in receipt of a pension. The truth is that many are earning more over their lifetime than ever before and this coupled with advances in medical science, mean many of us are fitter than ever before.
Many of our elderly customers who make contact grasp the fact that we can obtain a far more competitive deal than they are currently on with their current lender. For those looking for new lending, they realise from us, that good homeowner deals for the elderly do exist, in many instances, we can be even more competitive then the high street, that’s if they will entertain you.
Some lenders that work closely with us, stipulate that they will consider at anyone for lending, all cases are judged on a case by case basis.
