FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GUARANTOR MORTGAGES

First-time buyers celebrating outside their new home after securing a guarantor mortgage

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Who can be a guarantor?

Most lenders accept parents, close family members or, in some cases, other relatives who meet the lender’s criteria.

πŸ’· Can a guarantor mortgage help me borrow more?

Potentially, yes. A guarantor’s support may improve affordability and increase the amount you can borrow, subject to lender criteria.

🏑 Does the guarantor own part of the property?

Not usually. In most cases, the property remains in your name, although arrangements vary between lenders.

⚠️ What happens if I can’t make my mortgage payments?

A guarantor agrees to support the mortgage if required, which is why lenders carefully assess both parties before approval.

πŸ”‘ Can I get a guarantor mortgage with a small deposit?

Some lenders may accept lower deposits, although the amount required will depend on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria.

πŸ’¬ How do I know if a guarantor mortgage is right for me?

The best way to find out is to speak with a specialist mortgage adviser who can review your circumstances and explain the available options.
