We recently worked with a 61-year-old client who had been living in Spain but wanted to return to the UK. His main challenge was securing a mortgage as he had no sustainable income. However, he had a UK SIPP valued at £1.3 million, which had not yet been accessed.
As his broker, we guided him through the process of leveraging his pension for mortgage affordability. The lender assessed 90% of his SIPP’s value, resulting in an eligible amount of £1,170,000. Divided over a 10-year mortgage term, this provided an assessable annual income of £117,000, which was sufficient for mortgage approval.
With our expertise, the client secured a mortgage without needing to draw down his pension, keeping his investments intact. This solution enabled him to purchase a UK home while preserving his retirement fund’s growth potential. Thanks to this approach, he transitioned back to the UK smoothly without financial strain.
There are very few products on the market that allow for this level of flexibility regarding leveraging your SIPP funds towards a mortgage. With SIPP income being taxable after the 25% tax-free-cash, this product can form part of a broader, long-term financial plan to secure a new home by utilising the wealth in your pension.
