What we do
We’re committed to helping advisers understand the role that later life lending can play in helping clients achieve their financial objectives and a more colourful retirement.
Retirement Interest Only Mortgage
Our RIO is an interest-only mortgage with a fixed interest rate for life. If your client’s existing interest-only mortgage is coming to an end, they could use the RIO to pay the outstanding balance and stay in the home they love. It’s important to note that clients must make monthly interest payments - as a last resort, your client’s home may be repossessed if they do not keep up with payments.
Could a RIO be right for your client? Visit our website to find our useful affordability calculator, templates, resources and more.
Lifetime Mortgages
Our Lifetime Mortgages all come with standard features that can help your clients, including accessing tax-free cash, no affordability checks, and interest rates fixed for the length of the loan. A lifetime mortgage is a form of equity release secured against your client’s home.
To advise a lifetime mortgage, you'll need an additional ER1 qualification. If you're interested in getting qualified, use our online portal to study for your ER1 exam at home and at your own pace.
