Lending in Retirement Mortgage (LIR22)

This mortgage package, aimed at those who are 55 plus and are retired/semi-retired, offers lower monthly repayments during the term of the mortgage compared to our Standard Variable Rate. It can be used to purchase a property, remortgage from another lender, capital raise and switch product from another SBS mortgage. The maximum Loan to Value (LTV) is the amount of a mortgage expressed as a percentage of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is the lower.

Early Repayment Charge During the first three years, an early repayment charge of 1% of the loan amount is payable. After this period, no early repayment charges apply.
Overpayments

Regular overpayments are permitted. Regular overpayments are amounts collected with, in addition to, your monthly mortgage payments. You may make capital repayments without an early repayment charge being levied as long as the mortgage is not redeemed in full (a minimum balance of £500 must be kept on the account) within the 3 year early repayment period. Following receipt of a lump sum payment, the amount that you owe, and so the amount of interest you pay is reduced immediately.
