Lifetime and retirement mortgage rates for existing members
We no longer offer new Lifetime or retirement mortgages. The information on this page is only for members that already have one of these mortgages with us and want to switch deal or borrow more.
Existing Lifetime or retirement mortgage members
We’ve stopped offering new Lifetime or retirement mortgages, but nothing has changed for you if you already have one of these mortgages with us.
You can still borrow more if you’re eligible, and you can still move your mortgage to a new home with you.
And if you have a Retirement Interest Only mortgage or a Retirement Capital and Interest mortgage, you can still switch to a new deal when yours ends.
Lifetime mortgage rates
If you’re an existing member borrowing more, you can borrow between £10,000 and:
- £1 million if you live in England, or
- £515,000 if you live in Wales or Scotland.
Our Lifetime mortgage rates and the maximum loan amount depend on your age, how much your property is worth and how much you want to borrow. Please call us on 0345 609 25 30 to find out more.

Glossary of terms
This is the amount you’re looking to borrow on your mortgage as a percentage of the value of the property. LTVs are calculated using the lower of the purchase price or valuation. For example, if a property is valued at £150,000 and you’re looking to borrow £60,000, the LTV is 40% (£60,000/150,000 x 100 = 40%).
This is the comparative illustrative interest rate you’d pay over a year period and helps you to compare the ‘cost’ of borrowing between different mortgage lenders (also known as the ‘overall cost for comparison’).
At the end of the deal period you move to our variable Standard Mortgage Rate (SMR), for the remainder of the mortgage term. Alternatively, you may switch to another Nationwide product, subject to availability and your eligibility at the time. The SMR has no upper limit or cap and is only available to existing customers who have reached the end of their deal period.
Important:
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your mortgage is secured on your home, which you could lose if you do not keep up your mortgage payments. Check that this mortgage will meet your needs if you want to move or sell your home or you want your family to inherit it. If you are in any doubt, seek independent advice.
