Parents or grandparents can use up to 60% of the value of their own property to help their child/grandchild onto the housing ladder. Parents or grandparents must have minimum remaining equity of £130,000 and the maximum loan to value (LTV) is based on the number of bedrooms as follows:
4+ Bedrooms 60% Maximum LTV
3 Bedrooms 50% Maximum LTV
2 Bedrooms 40% Maximum LTV
1 Bedroom homes would not be considered.
The Society will take a charge on the relative's property to bring the Society's overall LTV to 80%. The charge on the relative's property is for a set amount.
The relatives will have liability for any shortfall on the sale of the mortgage property in repossession subject to the maximum agreed at outset.
The charge on the parent's property can be released subject to a re-valuation and satisfactory conduct of the mortgage account.
We may also accept equity in holiday homes or Buy to Let properties other than the relatives' own, subject to individual approval.

Early Repayment Charges as detailed below are payable on any lump sum or full redemption repaid over 10% of the capital balance.
During the early repayment charge period lump sum overpayments up to 10% of the capital balance per annum may be made without attracting an early repayment charge. Should the total of lump sum overpayments exceed 10% within this period, the excess will attract an early repayment charge.
Once the early repayment charge period has ended overpayments can be made at any time.
If an overpayment of £500 or more is made, we will recalculate the monthly payment the following month.
The First Time Buyers will need to demonstrate they can afford the mortgage payments in their own right and pass normal affordability checks.
