An April Interest Only+ mortgage gives your clients greater flexibility over how they manage their mortgage, with affordability that reflects how the mortgage is structured and more options for clients borrowing into retirement. 

 

With Interest Onlyyour client pays the interest each month, with the capital repaid at the end of the term through an acceptable repayment strategy. With Part & Part they can combine Interest Only with capital repayment, giving you more ways to structure a mortgage around their needs. 

 

Interest Only+

More possibilities for clients aged 50+

 

 

Interest Only+ opens up more options for clients approaching or already in retirement, giving you another mainstream mortgage solution to explore before specialist later-life options such as RIO or Equity Release. 

 

For clients aged 50+, key criteria include:

 

  • Miniumum income of £24,000
  • No minimum equity requirement, subject to maximum LTV limits 
  • No maximum age at the end of term for sole applicants
  • State pension, private and workplace pension completed 
  • Pension credit accepted 
  • Pension pots considered at 4% of the fund value as annual income

 

 

Affordability that reflects the mortgage+

 

Interest Onlyis asssessed on an Interest Only basis, while Part & Part is assessed on a Part & Part basis. 

It's a more tailored approach to affordability that could help make more of your clients' cases work.
