  • Our privacy notice tells you how L&G collect and store your personal information. 

How interest rates affect the amount you owe

  • Lifetime mortgage Interest rates have increased significantly recently.
    Each time you borrow, the interest rate will be fixed for life, so this does not affect any of your previous loans.
  • Interest will be added to the amount you owe each month, and ‘rolled-up’ which means interest is charged on the interest and therefore the amount you owe will increase over time.
  • With the increase in interest rates, you should consider whether now is the right time to drawdown from your lifetime mortgage.

If you already make monthly interest payments;

  • Higher interest rates mean the amount of your monthly interest payment will be higher for the life of your lifetime mortgage.
  • You should consider whether you can afford the monthly interest payments before proceeding with the application.
  • If you stop making monthly interest payments, interest will be added to the amount you owe each month, and ‘rolled-up’ which means interest is charged on the interest and therefore the amount you owe will increase over time.

We recommend you explore other forms of borrowing or using other funds and savings before proceeding with this application. If you proceed you will receive an Offer and in Section 8 there will be an illustration of how the interest will roll up on your loan.
