Mortgages for the over-60s

Last updated: 16. October 2026 | Reading time: 1 minute

There is no statutory age limit for mortgages. The key factors are your financial situation and whether you will still be able to afford the monthly repayments once you retire.

Yes, even if you are over 60, it is generally possible to secure a mortgage. There is no statutory age limit for mortgages. The key factors are your income, your assets and the amount of equity you are contributing.

Many banks ensure that a loan is largely repaid by a certain age. Particularly in the case of owner-occupied properties, the aim is often to have as little outstanding debt as possible by the time you retire.

Your income situation usually changes when you retire. The bank must take this into account when assessing your creditworthiness. It is therefore crucial that the monthly instalment remains affordable even with your future pension income. Alternatively, any remaining debt can be settled using existing assets.

Higher repayments, additional equity or further collateral can improve the chances of being granted a loan.
