Need help paying off your interest-only mortgage?

With a later life mortgage you can borrow money based on the value of your home to pay off your existing mortgage.

How much could you borrow?

A loan secured against your home, for ages 55+

Pay off your existing mortgage

Release tax-free cash from your home and use the money you've borrowed to pay off your existing mortgage.

No need to downsize

With a later life mortgage, there's no need to move out of your home.

No fixed term

The loan is repaid from the sale of your home when the last borrower dies or moves into long-term care.

Considerations

  • There’s no need to make monthly payments, unless you choose a Payment Term Lifetime Mortgage, where you have to pay the interest off monthly for an agreed payment term.
  • A later life mortgage may reduce an inheritance and may affect your entitlement to means-tested state benefits.
  • You can stay in your own home and you will never owe more than it's sold for (subject to terms and conditions).
  • You may have cheaper ways to borrow money.
  • You may have to pay an Early Repayment Charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.

Looking for an interest only option?

A Retirement Interest Only Mortgage is a loan secured against your home. You have to pay the interest off monthly, but the full amount of the loan isn't usually repaid until you die or move out of the home into long-term care. As a last resort, your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.

If you're looking to release some money from your home to pay off an existing mortgage, this is one of the options available to you.
