How can I buy a new home for as little as 85% of the price?
You reserve your home, you pay a 5% Deposit on exchange and you pay 80% of the purchase price via your prearranged mortgage. We will loan the remaining amount (15%), secured by a legal charge for up to 10 years with no rent or interest payable*.
What happens to the outstanding loan after 10 years?
You will settle the loan at the end of the 10 year period either by selling your property or extending your mortgage to cover the outstanding balance. You can do this at any point during the 10 year period.
Do I have to pay the outstanding loan back in one whole sum?
The loan can be repaid in up to 3 instalments during the first 10 years. At the end of 10 years the loan must be repaid in full.
Are there any other costs associated with the repayment of the loan?
You will only have to pay valuation costs and solicitor’s fees on full or part repayment of the loan within the first 10 years.
How do I know how much the outstanding 15% will be?
The value will be determined by the actual sale price where there is a sale, or by agreeing a price based on the average of two independent valuations when you remortgage, transfer or make an earlier repayment, or at the end of the 10 year period.
What happens if the value of my home has increased due to home improvements?
During the valuation to determine the actual value of the 15% loan, any significant additions or improvements you have made e.g. conservatories or extensions, will not be taken into account, the value of these items will be disregarded.
What happens if the value of my house falls?
You will only pay 15% of the value determined at the point of transfer, sale or at the end of the 10 year period. If the value has fallen you will only ever pay 15% of that value.
Can I use this scheme if I am investing in a buy to let?
No, however, we have other schemes available specifically for investors.
What happens if my circumstances change during the loan period?
In circumstances of genuine hardship the position will be reviewed.
How can I find out if I can afford it?
