To ensure a smooth application process, we will guide you through the necessary paperwork. You will typically need:
- Proof of Identity – Passport or driving license.
- Proof of Income – Pension statements, bank statements, or other income sources.
- Property Details – Valuation reports or mortgage statements if applicable.
If you’re wondering, Can I get a RIO mortgage on a pension? – the answer is yes, provided you meet affordability criteria. Our team will assist you in preparing all required documents.
Step 3: Submit Your Application
Once we have the required documents, we will:
- Conduct affordability checks.
- Arrange for a property valuation to ensure your home meets our lending criteria.
If you're asking, Can I get a mortgage at 55? – many lenders, including Hanley Economic Building Society, offer no end-date mortgages for over 55s, making homeownership more accessible in later life.
Step 4: Receive Your Mortgage Offer
If your application is approved, we will issue a formal mortgage offer outlining your mortgage terms. You will have time to review the offer before proceeding.
Step 5: Completion and Ongoing Support
Once you accept the offer, your RIO mortgage will be in place. We provide ongoing support throughout the life of your mortgage.
