Market Harborough launches 100% mortgage
Market Harborough Building Society has launched a 100% mortgage designed to help more first-time buyers get onto the property ladder.
The mortgage will enable buyers who have a limited amount of funds to purchase a property, providing they have a parent willing to have a first or second charge secured against their residential or buy-to-let property. The society uses this as a guarantee for the mortgage.
Market Harborough’s mortgage is a competitively priced term-tracker linked to the standard variable rate. There is a 0.5% arrangement fee subject to a £1,250 minimum.
The minimum loan size is £200,000 and the maximum loan size is £750,000. The mortgage must be taken on a full capital repayment basis and three percent early repayment charges apply for three years.
Aaron Strutt, product director at Trinity Financial, says: “There are not many lenders offering no deposit mortgages and for some borrowers they are a very good option, especially over the longer term.
“One other small building society offers a more competitively priced 100% mortgage rate, and it does not have any early repayment charges. The maximum loan size is £400,000 for properties inside the M25 and a charge will need to be added to a family members’ property.”
Parents must take independent legal advice for both of these mortgages, and the applicants must be able to afford the whole loan in their own right.
