First Time Buyers Mortgages
Mortgages with Parents
How Mortgages with Parents work
Using your parents' salary or pension to boost income multiples This deal offers an income multiple of four times salary or four times the parent's salary after their existing mortgage repayments have been deducted. Alternatively, the bank will lend 2.75 times the parent and child's income combined.
The deal is available up to 100% of the value of the property (LTV).
Advantages of Mortgages with Parents
The mortgage is written in both names but – as it is only secured on the child's property – the parent's home is not at risk. In addition the property deeds only need to feature the child's name so the parent will not incur Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liabilities when the property is sold.
Disadvantages of Mortgages with Parents
There are often age restrictions for parents and, as the age of the first-time buyer increases, more parents are retired. Some deals, like that from the Chelsea, require the parent's name to be on the property deeds, which could result in CGT liabilities.
