Mortgages Over 60 With Bad Credit — What Is Possible
Older borrowers face two separate challenges when applying for a mortgage: age restrictions where many lenders have maximum ages of 70-75 at the end of the mortgage term and adverse credit. Together these narrow the field of available lenders but specialist options do exist.
Options for older borrowers with bad credit include specialist later life mortgages retirement interest-only mortgages equity release and standard mortgages from age-flexible specialist lenders.
