It's official! Today's 30 year olds have it harder than their parents did, says the Telegraph (7 January 2022). Despite higher mortgage rates for mum and dad, greater property prices now wipe out any gains from today's lower rates, making a family's financial support even more key.

We have a range of mortgage options that support families to achieve their housing goals.

Joint Mortgage Sole Owner

Our JMSO arrangement allows families (parents and adult children only) to help each other with affordability when applying for a mortgage. 

Up to two family applicants can support one or two borrower(s) by using up to four incomes for affordability. Supporting family applicants will be listed on the mortgage but will not own the property.

• Suitable for:

  • young borrowers needing help onto the property ladder

  • adult children wanting to support their parents, and

  • recently separated or divorced applicants in need of temporary help with their mortgage.

• We also lend in retirement with higher maximum ages than most lenders.

Family Mortgage

Our Family Mortgages gives families the flexibility to combine their wider assets as security to help the borrower benefit from a competitive rate when faced with a 95% mortgage. Families can do one or a combination of the following; 

• Use family savings as security: in our Family Security account, savings earn interest as well as providing security 
   
• Secure a charge over property: use family property as security
   
• Open a Family Offset account: use savings as security to reduce the amount of the mortgage on which interest is charged
   
• Benefit from six months unemployment cover: at no extra cost (subject to conditions).

At Family Building Society, we have a common sense approach and assess each application on it's own merit so that we can fit to your client's particular circumstances.
