Lending in retirement

"Great retirement mortgage. My mortgage broker recommended the NBS as their product ideally suited my circumstances being over 70 years old. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and efficiency of the whole process."

Customer review, Smart Money People, December 2024.

Getting a mortgage in retirement doesn't have to be difficult.

At Newbury Building Society, we understand there are many different reasons why you want a mortgage which takes you into your 60s, 70s and beyond. For example, you may want to free up equity to fund a holiday home or give your children and grandchildren a helping hand on the property ladder. 

Mortgage lending up to the age of 90

We believe you shouldn't be limited when applying for a mortgage and that's why we lend up to the age of  90 across our entire standard mortgage range. This means that for new mortgage applications across our residential products, the term may be allowed to run until the borrower's 90th birthday. The maximum age of any applicant at the start of the mortgage is 80 years

A happy (older) customer! As an older borrower, with a guaranteed pension(s) income, Newbury BS provided a service to me that other lenders did not, so thank you and well done for seeing the gap in this market. The remortgage was arranged through a broker and once all documents requested had been provided to you, it was a seamless process.
