Handling a mortgage after a break up can be tough
Going through a separation is hard enough, but for many people trying to figure out how to stay in their home and make mortgage repayments is a huge concern. Our advisors specialise in increasing mortgage affordability through a range of specialist products so individuals can buy someone out of a home.
How Tembo could help increase your borrowing power
We advise on a range of specialist schemes that could boost your affordability to help you stay in the home you love.
Income Boost
An Income Boost, also known as Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor (JBSP) mortgage, is a way of adding some or all of a family member or friend's income to a mortgage to increase your max borrowing. With a loved one added as a guarantor, you can increase your affordability to afford your home on your own.
Deposit Boost
This involves two separate mortgages. The first is taken out by your family member or friend (the Booster) on their property to release money, which is then gifted to you to help you buy out your ex. The second is the new mortgage needed for your home, with you as sole owner.
Savings as Security
If you have a family member who wants to help and has cash savings, instead of gifting you it in a lump sum they could place them in a special savings account. This is used as security by the lender, which increases your affordability.
Dynamic Income Boost
Add some or all of a family member’s earnings to your total income to increase your affordability. They can choose to build up an equity stake by contributing to the repayments, but won’t own your home.
Deposit Loan
Increase the amount of equity you hold in your home, with a Deposit Loan from a loved one. They'll benefit by owning a percentage of your property, while you can remortgage with a larger downpayment
Professional Mortgages
If you work in a professional field, such as a nurse, doctor or solicitor, you could be eligible to borrow up to 5.5x your income. By borrowing more, you can boost your affordability to afford your home on your own.
