Mortgage for older borrowers remortgaging away from Santander – as pictured in The Sunday Times
Our client’s mortgage term was coming to an end with Santander and the bank was not keen to extend their term by more than five years.
As the couple, Norman Patient aged 69 and Alison Patient aged 60, did not plan to sell their home and downsize anytime soon, they wanted to remortgage to another lender happy to offer them a longer mortgage term.
