Interest Only mortgages

We offer a range of Interest Only mortgages for your clients, provided they have the ability to repay the capital at the end of their mortgage term.

Our Mortgages can be either Interest Only or Part and Part (e.g. combination of Interest Only and Capital and Interest).

No minimum income required (subject to affordability assessment).
Mortgages are available up to 60% LTV where the whole mortgage can be on Interest Only or up to 75% LTV, where up to 60% of the property value can be on Interest Only and the remaining must be on Capital and Interest (i.e. Part and Part).
We accept a wide range of repayment strategies to suit your client's needs, including the sale of a mortgaged property.
Free standard valuation up to £999.

Our repayment strategies

Your client should know from the start how they're going to repay the mortgage at the end of the mortgage term.

It is their responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient funds to repay the amount borrowed on an Interest Only basis and (where applicable) any accrued interest at the end of the term.

We allow:

Sale of a mortgaged property

Use our minimum equity finder to see how much they would require as minimum equity.

The equity can include the deposit and the amount that will be repaid under capital and interest terms (i.e. Part and Part).

View our other Interest Only repayment strategies

Sale of other property

We allow the usage of equity held in other properties.
We need all property details, evidence of ownership and the amount of mortgage debt, if any.
The equity can include the deposit and the amount that will be repaid under capital and interest terms (i.e. Part & Part mortgages).
We will also undertake a plausibility check against the estimated level of equity.

Savings, pensions and investments

Pensions

We use a maximum of 25% of their latest projected pension value.
The pension projections can be based on either the middle or lower growth rates.
We need a copy of the latest pension projection statement dated within the last 12 months.

Regulated Investments (e.g. Endowment Policies)

We use 100% of their latest projected value of any regulated investments.
The investment projections should be based on middle growth rates.
We need a copy of the latest statement (showing projections) dated with in the last 12 months.

Lump sum savings and investments (e.g. Bonds, Unit trusts)

We use 100% of their savings and investments current value.
We need a copy of the latest statement dated within the last 12 months.

Stocks and Shares

We use 100% of the latest valuation of their stocks and shares.
The shares should be in FTSE 100 / 250 companies, with a minimum of 3 companies within the portfolio.
We need the copy of the share certificates, evidence of share holdings and their valuation.

Things to consider:

Savings, pensions and investments must have been in place for 12 months.
The borrower can also use a combination of the savings, pensions and investments repayment strategies (e.g. Pensions, Regulated invetsments and Stocks and shares).
Maximum of three savings, pensions and investment repayment strategies combination can be used and they must be in pounds sterling.
If the borrower's use combination of the existing savings, supplemented by future regular saving, the society will consider whether the combination represents a plausible repayment strategy.
If using any of the savings and investments repayment strategies the borrower's should regularly assess the value of their investment(s) and also seek independent financial advice where appropriate.
The borrower's must review their plans regularly to make sure they are on track to pay off the mortagage (and any accrued interest, if applicable) by the end of their mortgage term, if necessary make changes.
Whilst the Society may choose to accept a repayment strategy, the acceptance does not guarantee that the proceeds will be sufficient to repay the debt in full at the end of the mortgage term.
The Society will seek to satisfy itself that the repayment strategy is clear, credible and appropriate.
We will contact the borrower at some point to check if their repayment strategy is still in place and it is reasonable to expect that it will repay the amount borrowed (and any interest accrued, if applicable) by the end of the mortgage term.
It is the borrower's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient funds to repay the amount borrowed on an Interest Only basis and (where applicable) any accrued interest at the end of the term.

We do not lend on Interest Only for Shared Equity, Shared Ownership and where the term extends beyond stated retirement.
