Share a mortgage with your Grandma?

Enables experienced IFA’s in Bishops Stortford can see that for some to secure a mortgage relying on the grandparents might be the only way could be the only way. One lender ‘One Family’ have followed Nationwide in its plans to introduce intergenerational mortgage schemes, lenders are even keen to help grandparents share a home loan with a younger relative.


Those sixty somethings, who, paid around £12,000 for a first home in the 1970s, might now be living out their later years in a property worth considerably more but even if you are sitting on a fortune in property it is difficult as a grandparent to see a grandchild paying often as much as half their wages if not more on a not so salubrious dwelling.  With this mind, the new One Family mortgage allows grandparents to secure a mortgage against the value of their own property for the first time home of a grandchild, with the younger lender paying the instalments. Not many other details have been released about these ‘you-and-your-gran’ deals, but they might really work for some families.

One might need to accept that, if granny was going to risk her security to help you get a mortgage, she might want answers to these questions: how you’d be treating the house once you owned it and who would be living there? How will you pay the monthly instalments especially if you don’t want to take that dull job because you’re determined to follow your dreams? But when needs must it might be a way of bring a family closer Enable’s IFA’s can help you look at all your mortgage options.
