Family Boost mortgage
Struggling to save for a deposit? Our Family Boost mortgage means your family could help you by putting 10% of the agreed property purchase price into a 3 year fixed term savings account instead.
- The property is all yours
Only those named on the mortgage have the legal rights over the property no matter who helped. - Your payments stay the same
You’ll be on a 3 year fixed interest rate mortgage, making budgeting easier each month. - The savings will earn interest
When the 3 year fixed term ends, your family member gets their savings back with interest, as long as your mortgage payments are up to date.
Not sure if this is the right mortgage for you? Take a look at our other first time buyer mortgages.
You could lose your home if you don’t keep up your mortgage repayments

Things to consider
-
It’s probably taken a while for you to save, so why use it as a security deposit for your family’s mortgage?
- Help your family member get their first home - everyone knows its harder than ever for first time buyers to get on the ladder, you could give them a boost.
- Get your money back plus interest after 3 years - that’s as long as the buyer doesn’t miss any mortgage payments or their home is not repossessed. Otherwise you could get back less than you deposited or we could keep your savings for longer.
- £300 cashback towards your legal fees - you’ll get this through the conveyancer when the mortgage completes.
While your savings are being held as security against the mortgage, they will be locked away in a Family Boost Fixed Savings Account.
It’s normal to have lots of questions about your mortgage. So what is it about Family Boost that makes it great for first time buyers?
