Hi
Can anyone recommend a lender for a remortgage for an 86 year old with a 27K annual pension income. He needs 103062.00 loan

I don't think there is any way lenders will lend to someone of that age.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

There are lenders doing retirement interest only mortgages now as long as there is sufficient pension income. The devil is in the detailsI am a Mortgage Adviser

If it is repayment mortgage the payments would be prohibitively expensive as the mortgage would need to be repaid over a very short term as the chances are the mortgage holder would die before it was repaid. If you can find a lender to do an interest only mortgage geared towards retired people as suggested above that is an option but I have never heard of one. Is this a new mortgage to buy a property or do they already have a mortgage? You say remortgage which suggests they already hold one.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
