Saffron Building Society does not offer Lifetime Mortgages. The undernoted criteria must therefore be applied when considering client proposals that will extend either into retirement or attaining the age of 75. Please note that this criteria applies to both Residential and Buy to Let Mortgages insofar as is appropriate. Although BTL servicing will continue to be measured against rental income, we must also consider the dependence upon personal circumstances and income to cover associated risks e.g. rental voids, repairs and maintenance etc The following criteria will apply where any applicant will be beyond their 75 th birthday at term end: From the point of retirement, or 75 th birthday, whichever is due first, only 'retirement' income will be permitted from that day for the purpose of evidencing affordability - no 'working' income will be allowed All actual or projected retirement income must be evidenced projected income will be allowed where retirement (or age 75) is still more than 15 years away Where retirement income is relied upon for affordability see tables below for acceptable income percentages this will be further restricted as follows: Sole applicant (no occupiers) - 100% Sole applicant (with occupier) 50% Joint applicants - 50% of the higher income, 100% of the lower income A maximum LTV of 50% will apply to any borrowing on an Interest Only repayment basis Sale of the residential property (i.e. downsizing) will not be permitted as a repayment strategy for any Interest Only lending, irrespective of the LTV A single asset may not be suitable as a means of both servicing and repaying the mortgage e.g. a SIPP drawdown may be used for servicing, but this would reduce the fund so unsuitable as a repayment vehicle The maximum term allowable will be assessed on an individual basis using all appropriate information and data available to us i.e. Interim Life Tables published by the ONS The following additional criteria will apply where any applicant is beyond their 75 th birthday at point of application: A maximum LTV of 80% will apply to borrowing on a Capital & Interest repayment basis All applicants will be required to receive Independent Legal Advice Use the Retirement Affordability Calculator ensuring you apply any income restrictions first e.g. if only 50% is allowed then halve the income figure before entering it 1.
