We’re currently working on our BTL calculator in light of our recent criteria changes. We hope to have this back up and running soon but if you need any help in the meantime, please contact your BDM or the Helpdesk on 0330 123 1073.

Today we’re improving our shared ownership product range but also have great news on affordability and criteria.

Your shared ownership clients will now benefit from:

  • An increased loan size across our product range, now at a maximum of £500,000 (previously £350,000)
  • Lending on flats up to 10 storeys (previously limited to 5)
  • Gifted deposits accepted up to 95% of the share where applicants can provide 12 months’ rental evidence, of up to 90% of the share if this is not available
  • A new affordability calculator for all cases where the property is less than ten years old, using reduced ONS household and communications expenditure

Take a look at our range of shared ownership mortgages here.

If you have a shared ownership client in mind and want to discuss how we may be able to help, please give us a call on 0330 123 1073.
