JUST FOR YOU LIFETIME MORTGAGE
Offering flexibility and a variety of options to help you design personalised solutions for each client, a need highlighted by the FCA’s review of equity release sales and advice process.
Solutions as unique as your clients
We've added medical underwriting across our Just For You Lifetime Mortgage, so it's easier for you to deliver solutions unique to every client.
With the medically underwritten Just For You Lifetime Mortgage, six in 10 people could borrow more, or get a better interest rate to reduce their borrowing costs*.
By combining it with a flexible choice of options, you can now design personalised, tailored solutions for every client - as unique as they are.

Manage borrowing effectively
- Reduce costs of borrowing
Medical underwriting and an Energy Performance Discount could help your clients achieve a better interest rate to reduce their costs of borrowing.
Clients with an EPC rating of A, B, or C may qualify for a 0.10% discount on their interest rate, reducing the overall cost of borrowing for the duration of the loan.
- Servicing interest
Clients with surplus income every month could benefit from interest servicing and a potential reduction to the roll-up interest rate.

Early repayment charge (ERC)
Those choosing not to service monthly interest can pay up to 10% of each advance in every 12 month policy period without incurring an ERC.
Read our ERC guide for more information.
Free Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) check and discount
If your client has an EPC rating of A, B or C, they can take advantage of a 0.10% discount off of their standard interest rate for the duration of the loan.
Alternatively, if your client doesn't have an EPC rating or has an EPC rating of D or lower, they can receive a free EPC check.
