Lending in Retirement Mortgage (LIR24)

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

The Early Repayment Charge (ERC) of 2% will apply where the loan balance falls below £25k within the first 3 years.

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 balance does not drop below £25k 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.
