Retirement Interest Only Mortgage?

We're Here to Help.

A RIO mortgage works much like a standard interest-only mortgage — you make monthly interest payments, keeping the balance the same for as long as you have the mortgage. The loan is usually repaid when you sell your home, move into long-term care, or pass away.

At Chetwood Lloyd Mortgages, we’ll help you explore your options, compare lenders, and find the most suitable deal for your situation — all with independent, fee-free advice.

Is a RIO Mortgage

Right

for You?

It’s natural to have questions or worries. Here are some of the most common problems we hear from our clients

I’m worried I won’t be able to afford the payments

That’s a sensible concern. With a RIO mortgage, you only pay the interest each month — so your balance stays the same. We’ll check your income carefully

I don’t want to risk losing my home

As long as you keep up with the monthly interest payments, your home remains completely yours. There’s no fixed end date — the mortgage only ends when you sell, move into care, or pass away

I want to leave something for my family

Because the loan amount doesn’t increase over time, any rise in your property’s value can still form part of your estate. It’s a way to unlock funds now, while protecting future inheritance

Can I move house later on?

Yes — most RIO lenders allow you to move home, provided the new property meets their criteria. We’ll help you understand what flexibility each lender offers

It all sounds a bit complicated

That’s what we’re here for. We’ll explain everything clearly, step by step, and help you make an informed choice that fits your goals and lifestyle — with no jargon
