Tips for Applying for Loans During Your Retirement

December 5, 2018 //  by Geoff

Getting loans when you are already retired might be quite difficult. Since you no longer have a stable source of income, loan providers might deny your application. They might also worry that at your age, you have health issues that will prevent you from paying the loan. Unless they offer a provision that forces someone to repay the loan if something happens to you, the loan application might probably be denied.

Provide all the requirements

For regular personal loans, you only have to provide some documents like proof of income or tax documents. When you are already retired, these requirements change. You need to show your proof of retirement income and other documents showing you have properties or possessions. Remember though that even if you already have a complete set of requirements, you might still end up not getting approval depending on the policies set by the loan provider.

Understand the terms

You also need to understand how the loan works and the details involving repayment. You don’t want to feel the burden of repaying the loan, especially at your age. If you don’t quite understand the terms, you can clarify them with the provider to ensure that you are getting what you deserve.

Check the repayment scheme

You need to understand the length of the loan and the repayment schedule. It could be tough depending on the loan that you choose. There are instances when it would be better to repay the loans quickly even if the monthly fees are high. Other loans could drag on for years, and given your age, it might not be the most suitable choice for you.

Think twice before getting a loan

You normally get a loan only when you need it. Again, you are at a point in your life where you need to enjoy whatever you have and take a break from worrying. You already went through that while you were still working. Therefore, you don’t need to take a loan out if you have other sources of income, or if you don’t really need to buy whatever it is that you are thinking of.

Try equity release

If you want to get money now without worrying about how you can repay it, you can go for equity release over 55. It lets you borrow an amount of money that the provider will tie to your property. You don’t need to pay now, but once you die, they will sell the property. They will then take a portion of the value to repay your loan, and the rest will go to your loved ones. It might be the option for you since you don’t have to think about anything while you are alive. You can speak with experts about it if you are not sure if it is the best loan for you.

In the end, you need to be smart when borrowing money. Think about your priorities before rushing into a decision or else you might regret it.
