Together pride themselves on being more flexible than other lenders when it comes to common affordability hurdles like poor credit scores, like having light adverse credit or being self-employed. They also offer a range of standard mortgages, including fixed-rate and tracker mortgages for first-time buyers, home movers, remortgagers and buy-to-let customers.
While not offering as many first-time buyer and affordability-boosting options as other lenders, Together do accept shared ownership and Right to Buy mortgages, as well as gifted deposits and equity from loved ones.
As with any provider, whether Together is the best provider for you depends on your affordability and unique circumstances, what mortgage products you're eligible for, and what the market is currently like. Our award-winning team here at Tembo can help you navigate these factors to ensure you get the best mortgage deal for you.
Like most mortgage lenders, Together offers a range of mortgage products with different eligibility criteria. How much you could borrow for a mortgage depends on which products you're eligible for, your income and deposit, and other factors like your credit score, employment type, and outgoings. But typically you can borrow between 4-4.5 times your income.
By creating a free Tembo recommendation, you can see what you could be offered for a mortgage by Together and other providers without applying.
It's possible that you can make overpayments if you have a Together mortgage, but restrictions are likely to apply depending on the agreement you have. Paying anything above the allotted amount could see you being hit by an Early Repayment Charge (ERC).

Together pride themselves on offering "lending for every walk of life" with a personal approach to each customer's case instead of algorithms and tick boxes. As a specialist lender in mortgages and secured loans, they cater to both buyers and businesses who need something slightly different from what mainstream banks offer.
Together are well-rated, with a high 4.3 out of 5 star rating on Trustpilot from almost 2,000 reviews. Over the years, they've also won various awards over the years, including the CCA Accreditation for customer experience, Specialist Buy To Let Lender of the Year and the Mortgage Introducer's Global 100 Mortgage Award.
However, Together does not offer the same range of first-time buyer or guarantor mortgages offered by other lenders. For this reason, they may not be the right fit for borrowers looking for family-assisted options, or mortgages for those with small deposits.
No, Together does not offer guarantor mortgages, although they do accept gifted deposits. So your family member could give you a non-refundable cash gift to help boost your deposit size, or use a Deposit Boost to unlock money from their home.
It can be difficult to know which lenders offer guarantor mortgages and which one is best for you and your family, as this depends on your unique affordability and what schemes you're eligible for. Working with a mortgage broker like Tembo who specialises in family-assisted mortgages can help you navigate lenders' different eligibility criteria and find the best deal for you from across the market.
