Who is eligible?

Your clients might be eligible for this product if:

    • Each applicant is a first time buyer
    • Each applicant is aged 21 or over
    • If they have a deposit, it must be less than 5% of the purchase price
    • Each applicant has no missed payments on debts / credit commitments (e.g. mobile phone bill) in the last 6 months
    • They are looking to borrow up to £600,000
    • They meet the household-to-household criteria (see below)
    • They’re not looking to buy a new build flat
    • They have proof of having paid rent for at least 12 months in a row, within the last 18 months
    • They have 12 months experience paying all household bills within the last 18 months.

What does household-to-household mean?

Household-to-household means that the same people who are renting now (and have been for the last 12 months) are the same people applying for the mortgage.

If applying alone, the rental and household expenditure payments must have been covered entirely by your client for 12 consecutive months within the last 18 months.

Joint applicants (maximum of 4 per application) will need to evidence that these payments have been made either:

  • collectively, or
  • wholly by one applicant.

Joint applicants who have been renting separate properties will be eligible, as long as each applicant can evidence that they have individually covered their entire rental and household expenditure payments. In this instance, when calculating the max loan amount based on the average rental payment over the last 6 months, their combined rental payments can be used.
