Retirement Interest Only Mortgage (RIO)

Our RIO is an interest-only mortgage with a fixed interest rate for life. If your client’s existing interest-only mortgage is coming to an end, they could use our RIO mortgage to pay the outstanding balance and stay in the home they love. It’s important to note that clients must make monthly interest payments. As a last resort, your client’s home may be repossessed if they do not keep up with payments.

Lifetime Mortgages

Our Interest Roll Up and Optional Payment Lifetime Mortgages both come with standard features that can help your clients, including accessing tax-free cash, no affordability checks, and interest rates fixed for the length of the loan. A lifetime mortgage is a form of equity release secured against your client’s home.

Our Payment Term Lifetime Mortgage is a type of equity release available from the age of 50, this mortgage comes with standard features that can help your clients, including accessing tax-free cash and a fixed interest rate. Customers pay off the interest on a monthly basis for a pre-agreed payment term. For joint borrowers, at least one of the borrowers must be in paid employment. As a last resort, your client's home may be repossessed if they do not keep up with payments.

To advise a lifetime mortgage, you'll need an additional ER1 qualification.
