Standard Residential mortgages

Buying your own home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. We understand no two borrowers are the same which is why we offer a flexible approach to mortgage criteria with manual underwriting. Our 95% (LTV) products offer deposits as low as 5% and is also available on new build homes (including flats).

We also offer a Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor option, which may be useful if affordability is tight, as we take into account parent’s income when assessing the mortgage application, without them becoming a legal owner of the property. Give our mortgage team a call to chat about your individual situation.

Variable mortgages

There may be a limit on how low your interest rate can fall. This is called an ‘interest rate floor’. The interest rate floor applicable to your loan will be specified in your loan documentation.
