Repaying part of your lifetime mortgage

Options for repaying part of your lifetime mortgage

Making repayments will reduce the amount you owe and the total amount of interest charged over the duration of your lifetime mortgage. 

You can make a repayment by calling our Customer Service team on 0333 004 8444. Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.30pm. We may record and monitor calls.

Optional Partial Repayments

You can make Optional Partial Repayments on your lifetime mortgage. This will reduce the amount you owe without paying any Early Repayment Charge.

You can choose to make an Optional Partial Repayment at any time if

  • you've got our Interest Roll Up Lifetime Mortgage (was Flexible Lifetime Mortgage) Or;
  • you’ve stopped making monthly interest payments on your Optional Payment Lifetime Mortgage.

You can repay up to 10% of the total amount borrowed (including additional borrowing) each year. An Early Repayment Charge will apply when making repayments above this limit.

Contact us and we’ll send you information on how to make this payment and how it will affect your lifetime mortgage.

Partial repayments

You can make a partial repayment on your lifetime mortgage. This will reduce the amount you owe, but you may need to pay an Early Repayment Charge.

You can choose to make a partial repayment if

  • you've had our Interest Roll Up Lifetime Mortgage and have reached the annual limit of your Optional Partial Repayments.
  • you have an Optional Payment Lifetime Mortgage and want to make payments in excess of your monthly repayments. Or, you have stopped making monthly payments and have reached the annual limit of your Optional Partial Repayments.

Contact us and we’ll tell you how to make the payment, how it will affect your lifetime mortgage and if any Early Repayment Charge applies.

To request a repayment please have the following information ready:

  • Account number - to identify your account we need your account number. This is on your Offer of Loan document or your annual statement.
  • Details of your initial loan or most recent drawdown – this is to check that you're the person who took out the loan or have authority to act on their behalf. The information is on your Offer of Loan document or most recent annual statement.
  • Source of funds - We have a responsibility to ensure that the money we are receiving is from a legitimate source. We may ask you to provide evidence of where the money we are receiving has come from.

If you make a repayment, you may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge. This is calculated to recover costs for setting up a lifetime mortgage. This includes transaction costs for reinvesting the money, or due to changes in long-term interest rates.

When an Early Repayment Charge is applicable, this will be shown on your illustration.

  • You may want to go back to your financial adviser for guidance.
  • Further information is in your Offer of Loan and All You Need to Know documents.
  • If you want to repay your lifetime mortgage in full, you can find more information on our repayments page.
  • To make a repayment you must be either an account holder or the attorney, for a Power of Attorney registered with us. All payments must be from the account holders bank account.

Common partial repayment questions

The allowance is 10% of the amount that you have borrowed for your initial loan and any additional borrowing. Your annual statement has these details so that you are able to calculate it.

We need to be sure that the money we're receiving is from a legitimate source. We’ll need you to complete a donor form and share photo ID of the person who’s gifting the funds before you make the payment.

Yes, if you have a Power of Attorney (PoA) for Property and Financial affairs. This is only if you have given the required consents or have lost mental capacity. The PoA must be registered with us before your attorney makes a repayment.

Repaying your lifetime mortgage

If you wish to end your lifetime mortgage account early and repay the balance in full, you can request a redemption statement via our online form. In some circumstances, an Early Repayment Charge may be applied to the balance, but this will not be more than the amount shown in your Offer of Loan.

Lifetime mortgage drawdown

Our Lifetime Mortgages give you the option to take less than the maximum amount you're eligible for when you take out the initial loan. If you’ve chosen to take less, you may be able to borrow more as and when you need it.
