A later life mortgages is a loan secured against your client's home for ages over 55 (50 for our Payment Term Lifetime Mortgage). Our later life mortgages are made up of Lifetime Mortgages and a Retirement Interest Only Mortgage. 

More people are using later life mortgages as part of their retirement planning. This isn’t surprising. A later life mortgage can support your clients’ retirement plans in a number of ways. It maybe used to provide a more comfortable retirement, or instead of taking income from pensions. This could mitigate income tax and reduce any tax payable on death.

A later life mortgage can help transfer money to children or grandchildren, perhaps to help buy a first home, or even pay off your client's existing mortgage. It can act as a backstop in case of unexpected expenses, or be used to fund care costs. It can even help if couples separate or divorce in later life.
