FAMILY STEP MORTGAGE

Picture This…

Nicola and Andy graduated from University in 2015 and secured full time employment earning £32,300 and £26,000 respectively. They have been living in a rental property in Manchester since 2016 paying £900 a month in rent. Nicola and Andy would love to own their own home and feel that a mortgage is affordable as they have a proven track record of maintaining rental payments, however, due to living in rented accommodation they have been unable to save a deposit.

FAMILY STEP MORTGAGE

The couple approached a mortgage broker to find out more about the options available to them…

Broker said:

There were options available for the young couple but many saw the requirement of an upfront deposit which the couple were struggling to raise given they needed savings for solicitors, property furnishing and then a large deposit to find a house in driving distance of their job in the city. We found the family step product range as a solution as Andy’s parent’s had their retirement savings earning interest in an account and were happy to support with the 20% charge on

• savings. We spoke to the Marsden to find out more….

We said:

The couple were interested in our 3 year discount product

• ver a repayment term of 35 years resulting in their monthly

repayment being £785 per month which is less than the rent they’re currently paying. We could see their income more than covered the bills and they are committed to monthly outgoings already so affordability was not a problem. Andy’s parents opened a Family Step Savings Account and earned interest on their £44,000 whilst Andy and Nicola got the home they wanted.

Andy and Nicola got their first step onto the property ladder and planned to make use of the 10% overpayments with the extra £115 per month they’re saving from their monthly rent in order to free up Andy’s parents savings when they approach the end of their term in three years.

FAMILY STEP MORTGAGE

How would you place it?... Meet Laura and Simon

• Have 5% deposit saved currently
• Laura’s parents own their property mortgage free, valued at £150,000

and have agreed to use their property as security to help the couple buy their first home.

• Property worth £130,000
• Couple live at home with their parents,

saving for a deposit. Broker said:

Both Simon and Laura live at home with their parents and are saving towards a deposit to buy their own home. They have seen a property they would like to purchase for £130,000 and although they have saved a 5% deposit they would ideally like to put a larger deposit down to take advantage of lower rates and keep their monthly mortgage payments lower. Laura’s parents own their property mortgage free, valued at £150,000, and have agreed to use their property as security to help Simon and Laura buy their first home. As Simon and Laura already have a 5% deposit the security required is 15%, £19,500. This will mean that Simon and Laura will have a mortgage of 95%, £123,500, however, they will take advantage of the family step mortgage rates.

We said:

Simon and Laura have a joint income of £35,000 and their mortgage, based on the Society’s 2.69% 3 year fixed rate would cost £454.18 per month over a 35 year term which they feel is easily affordable on their income. As the loan to value at the outset of the loan is 95% the charge on Laura’s parents property is guaranteed to be released after ten years or sooner if the LTV reduced to 80%.
