Published

on



‘With the average age of 33 for first time buyers coming onto the market, if you’ve got a 40-year mortgage, you’re still going to be paying mortgage payments at 73-years-old.’

Consumer and retail expert Kate Hardcastle explains why long-term mortgages could cause an issue for retirees.

    I got a mortgage at 50yo and the bank wouldn’t give me a term longer than 17 years, which is fair enough

    This is desperations you kick banks out of mortgages you can buy the house outright with the deposit money the real value of a 600k home is 60k why do you think banks ask for that 10 percent deposit

    Soon the govt and banks will own all the assets and people will work as working class all their life on universal credit as it was in the 18th century

    Just sell the house when you retire and downsize. Pay off the mortgage. The alternative is to pay rent all your life and have nothing to show for it after a lifetime of work. Also rent is in many cases more unaffordable than a mortgage.

    High House prices are part of the problem and my dad was 40 before he owned his first home.

    Enslavement of Debt……… the modern day slavery👍 don't expect building more houses to charge that anytime in the next century, not while people see houses as a financial investment rather then a home

    We knew since Covid and paying people to stay at home was going to damage economy. I feel sorry for young people that can’t get on the ladder, not so much for middle aged folks.

    Also 20% of men die before they are 65 so some may be hoping they are in the 20% 😉
