Remortgages for over 60s

If you are aged 60 or over you may be worried that you will not be able to find a lender willing to let you remortgage your home with them due to your age.

It is true it can be more difficult to home finance as you get older however depending on your exact age and how long you want the repayment term to be you may still be able to refinance your property.

Mortgage term

Mortgage lenders commonly require mortgages to be fully repaid by the 75th birthday of the eldest applicant for a mortgage or remortgage as such you may only be able to borrow as much as you could afford to repay in that time period, although this is not true of all lenders there may be some willing to offer finance past this age.  

Affordability

Affordability lenders typically calculate affordability based upon the annual income of an applicant, if you are currently retired or plan to retire within the term of your mortgage you will need to provide evidence to the lender that the income from any pensions, annuities or other investments you have will be able to adequately cover your mortgage payments. 

Specialist mortgages

There are certain mortgages available specifically designed for borrowers aged over 60 in mind, some of which may only be available via a broker, which might be able to offer you a better deal.

Before taking out a mortgage

As an older borrower, it is important to shop around thoroughly before taking out finance, while there may be a more limited selection of products, by comparing the market you can try to find the best deal on a mortgage that fits your terms.

You may also benefit from speaking to an independent mortgage adviser in addition to being able to provide you with impartial advice, an adviser which offers a whole market service will be able to search across providers to try and the best products available for your circumstances.

Alternatives to remortgaging

If you have been thinking of remortgaging your property to raise capital, for whatever means, you might also want to think about an equity release product, such as a lifetime mortgage. These products are not right for all borrowers, and will reduce how much you can leave behind to your beneficiaries; you may therefore wish to seek independent specialist advice if considering equity release.

Lifetime mortgages are a type of equity release scheme which allow borrowers to release some or all of the equity within their home without having to move. They usually work by the borrower being paid a one off sum or regular ‘income’ payment but instead of making monthly or annual repayments the original debt and any accumulated interest on it are usually repaid through the sale of the property after the policy holder dies or permanently moves into care. 

Equity release products with ‘no negative equity’ guarantees mean that the borrower will never owe more than the property is worth.
