Criteria A-Z

Split Mortgage Terms

Allowed

Criteria definition:

Indicates if we can potentially consider an application with a split term. For example, an applicant wishes to take one part of their mortgage over 25 years and another part over 10 years. An example of when this might be useful is where the applicant has agreed to repay money back to a parent who lent them some money to get started
