Supporting home ownership is at the heart of a building society’s purpose. It’s why we put so much time, thought and effort into designing ways that can help first-time buyers. We now have a range of products that can assist with boosting affordability and securing deposits.
From family assisted mortgages to straight-forward high LTV lending, we have a variety of product solutions, which we combine with pragmatic, common-sense manual underwriting that brokers can use to support their client’s dream of home ownership.
We now offer;
• Joint Mortgage Sole Proprietor mortgages that mean one family member can be added to the loan to support a single occupying borrower. The ownership of the property remains solely in the name of the occupying borrower, however they can use the income of a family member to increase their borrowing capacity to acquire the mortgage. It’s ideal for family whose income will rise in the future and for a short time need the support of a family member to get onto the property ladder.
• A Deposit Unlock scheme that helps borrowers secure a New Build home up to a value of £600,000 with a deposit of just 5%. It’s an alternative to both the recently launched Government mortgage guarantee scheme and the Help to Buy scheme, which will end in 2023 and is available to both employed and self-employed borrowers.
• Exclusive mortgage products to support the launch of the Government-led ‘First Homes’ scheme. The scheme offers a minimum of a 30% discount to help aspiring local first-time buyers. The scheme is also designed to support key workers, frontline health workers or armed forces veterans onto the property ladder.
• High LTV products available up to 95% LTV for purchase and remortgage with a variety of two and five year rates, including several with no product fees to maximise borrower choice and flexibility. A 10% overpayment allowance per annum is made available on all products, which supports your clients who require the flexibility to make lump sum overpayments. Selected products also offer a free standard valuation and cashback to support with any legal or moving fees.
• Family Gifted Deposit scheme where any money gifted to the applicant to buy a property can equate to some, or all, of their deposit. Gifted deposits are given with the understanding that the money doesn’t need to be repaid.
