Guarantor Mortgages

How do Guarantor Mortgages Work?

These days, most lenders have a guarantor facility across their standard mortgage range. This means that if there is any shortfall in income multiples, a family member can act as guarantor for the remainder. But there are also some specific guarantor mortgages, like that offered by Newcastle Building Society. The deal offers 100% to professional borrowers earning £15,000 or more. A close relative can act as guarantor for any remainder so long as their age and financial status complies.


Advantages of Guarantor Mortgages

The parent does not have to feature on either the mortgage agreement or the property deeds.

Usually no second charge is required over the parent's home.


Disadvantages of Guarantor Mortgages

The parent could be liable for the entire guarantor mortgage, not just the proportion they are guaranteeing.

Circumstances of either party can change.
