Mortgages

Reliance Bank are proud to support Shared Ownership Mortgages. These mortgages help people who would normally be unable to get on the housing ladder, to buy a share of their new home with the support of a housing association.

We lend up to 90% of the share and take a first legal charge over the property.

An example of a case we have done recently is a new build house in Hertfordshire

Market value / purchase price - £250,000
Client looking to buy a 60% share of the property = £156,000
RBL Mortgage required (90% of the share) = £140,400
Personal deposit from client / client's family = £15,600
Housing association paying the remaining share = £94,000

Shared Ownership Case Study

Hannah and Joseph were recently able to buy their first home in North London on a Shared Ownership mortgage provided by Reliance Bank, with the support of a local housing association.

Hannah says "We could not live where we are in north London without the Shared Ownership mortgage that Reliance Bank provided, We are so thankful to Reliance Bank and the housing association for enabling our family to have a home as we continue in work and ministry".

Existing Customer Rate Change

The great news is, if you are an existing Reliance Bank mortgage customer all our mortgage products are portable.

This means that if decide to move during your current mortgage term, we can transfer the outstanding balance at your original rate to your new home. We can also review the mortgage term should you wish at the same time as your rate change. Please note,as with any new mortgage application, the bank will need to carry out an assessment of your circumstances to ascertain how much you are able to borrow as porting allows you to transfer your current mortgage rate but the amount would be subject to our standard mortgage application process.

If you are looking to borrow more on your mortgage, then you would need to refer to the house purchase product range for the corresponding rate of interest that would apply to any new money you wish to take out.
