As the tragic events in Ukraine unfold, we understand that some of our mortgage members will want to provide a Ukrainian family safe and secure accommodation under the Government’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme. The Family Building Society, alongside the Building Societies Association, support this initiative.

More details of the scheme can be found on this website: https://homesforukraine.campaign.gov.uk/ which will be regularly updated.

If you are considering taking part in the scheme we would ask that you read the advice and conditions on the Government website carefully. The FAQ section has a wealth of information and can be viewed here: Homes for Ukraine scheme: frequently asked questions - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If you have a mortgage with us and wish to take part in the scheme please be re-assured that we have no objection to you sharing your home and you do not need to approach us for permission to do so. If, however, you are considering using a self-contained unit, such as an annex or second home then as this may create a formal tenancy we would recommend that you take appropriate advice first. Our consent to a formal tenancy would be required.

If you have any questions please contact our Mortgage Service Team:
