Specialist mortgages

Our JBSP arrangement allows family members to support each other with affordability when applying for a mortgage. Up to two occupying owners can live in the property and up to two family member(s) can support the occupying owner(s).

A JBSP arrangement is ideal for:

• Parents, grandparents, siblings or aunts/uncles helping adult children buy their first home, step up the property ladder or help with renovations
• Adult children helping their parents borrow in later life.

Whether you're an electrician, plumber, hairdresser or personal trainer, being self-employed can be a challenge but being accepted for a mortgage because you're self-employed shouldn't be. With our sensible take on your individual circumstances, income and trading history, we offer mortgages that could work for you. 

Subject to meeting our lending criteria and affordability, you're able to choose from any of our on sale mortgage products.

Mortgage loans are available on an Owner Occupier basis subject to certain conditions. For example, if you are a member of the Armed Forces currently serving elsewhere in the UK or overseas, and the property has previously been used, or is intended to be used as your main residence in the future.

We now accept Forces Help to Buy (FHTB) as a source of funds for a deposit. For more information on FHTB, please visit the Forces Law website.

Mortgage applications on holiday homes are available, subject to affordability, which must be calculated against the applicants earned income without inclusion of any rental that may be received from the property. Interest-Only loan applications will be accepted on this basis.

It is intended that these properties should be for the applicants use, but the property may be occupied on a holiday let basis when the applicants are not in occupation.

Applicants with portfolios of holiday homes will not be permitted.

Holiday homes will not be accepted where there is a formal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) or where they can only be used as a holiday home due to restrictive covenants within the deeds.

Maximum Loan to Value will be 70%.

If you are currently in, or moving to, tied accommodation linked to your employment, such as a boarding school teacher, vicar / minster or an estate worker, we understand you may not occupy your property until your current employment finishes, which could be many years in the future. To help with this, you may wish to rent out your property.

We will consider these applications for residential mortgage customers who need to rent out their property under a consent-to-let arrangement.
