Building societies' lending age limits

Following the recommendations of the BSA's 2015 report Lending in retirement building societies have reviewed their maximum age limits for lending. Below is a list of the societies who have chosen to increase their upper lending age limit to 80, 85 or remove all together.

In addition to the report the BSA has published a consumer information guide on the subject -  Can I get a mortgage at my age?

Contact details for all of our members are available in our list of members.
