    @iamiam Plenty of lenders will lend into retirement if you can evidence sufficient retirement income (eg: DB pension projections) to meet affordability.

    Or are you referring to lenders that will consider an intended retirement age above 75 and allow a term up to the intended retirement age? That is a much shorter list.

    Yes this...
  • Most lenders will take the lower of the state retirement age and your declared retirement age, so will be interested in confirming you will have a retirement income as stated above. The level of scrutiny in terms of retirement income may depend on your age, if there is a long time until you hit the state pension age its possible they may just check you are paying into a pension  rather than doing a full affordability assessment on your income post retirement.
