Mortgage as bridge to pension

Hi all,
Situation coming up: I will be 55, unemployed, £400k house owned outright, no other savings. I can take a pension lump sum of £150k at age 58 and live off reduced pension thereafter.
I would like to take out a £100k mortgage and use this money to live off for 3-4 years to tide me over until pension age, I would pay the mortgage interest out of this money. Then I will use the pension lump sum to repay the mortgage.
Is this normal/possible/acceptable/legal? What should I be aware of?

How will you demonstrate affordability for the mortgage?

There may be a way to satisfy your needs with a specialist lending option.
Consult a canny broker.
Otherwise you could get a 100 'no's' by searching around.I am a Mortgage Broker
