Why you’re stuck
Acenden operates in, services or is associated with closed‑book mortgage portfolios that typically do not offer new products or further advances. The practical route is to switch to an active lender.
Your switch options
- MAA (Modified Affordability Assessment): like‑for‑like balance; based on payment history; new deal must be cheaper.
- RIO (55+): later‑life interest‑only; affordability and LTV still apply.
Quick eligibility check
- Up‑to‑date on payments (last 12–24 months)
- No extra borrowing under MAA (like‑for‑like)
- Not moving home
- Lower LTVs help (e.g., ≤ 60%)
- Ages 55+ may fit RIO route
What we’ll need
- Latest mortgage statement + 12m payment history
- 3–6m bank statements
- Pension/income evidence
- Photo ID + proof of address
Useful specifics
- Acenden has historically serviced legacy portfolios (e.g., SPML/Preferred/Capstone).
- If you’re up‑to‑date and the new deal is cheaper, we assess an MAA switch to an active lender.
- We’re independent and not affiliated with Acenden.
