First Home With a Helping Hand: Joint Borrower, Sole Proprietor

Can't borrow enough on your own salary? Your parents can help you buy without going on the deeds.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The story

How we got it done.

01 · The goal

What they wanted

To buy a family home that his income alone couldn't stretch to.

02 · The challenge

Why it was complex

Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) has very specific criteria, especially with older family members whose terms run into retirement. Few lenders would do it at this loan size.

03 · The solution

How we structured it

The family members were added to the mortgage for affordability but not to the deeds. The deal is a 2-year fix, with the plan to remove them at the end of it.

04 · The result

The outcome

The keys to his first home, with a clear route to owning it on his own.

“JBSP is one of the most underused tools for first-time buyers, but it has to be set up right.”
Josh Halsey, Founder and Director

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Everyone on the mortgage is responsible for the full debt. Family members should take independent legal advice.
