Family Building Society


Family Building Society take a personal approach to assessing any mortgage application and each one is reviewed individually by one of their underwriters.

Family offer a range of fixed rate and discounted rate retirement interest-only (RIO) mortgage for new customers. Their range is only available to the over 65s and the society will lend up to 50% of the value of the property (the LTV). The minimum loan size is £45,000 for new customers.

Application, valuation and product fees may apply – depending upon the mortgage you choose and there are cashbacks on offer and help with legal fees if you are remortgaging.

One of the discounted rate mortgages also offers the ability to make overpayments of up to 10% p.a.

Family offer generous terms where other lenders often don’t – lending up to a 5-year term to a 90-year old and up to a 25-year term for a 70-year old for example. Regarding affordability, they take into account earned income up to age 70 and pension income beyond that.

Do the high street banks offer lifetime mortgages?

The ‘big' high street banks - that is Halifax, Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, Santander, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Nationwide don’t currently offer lifetime mortgages or equity release plans themselves.
