Family Springboard Mortgage by Barclays Bank UK

New Offer by Barclays as of 01/02/2013 for Mortgages 

Family Springboard Mortgage by Barclays Bank UK

This type of mortgage allows parents help their children secure mortgage whilst they (parent or parents or family member) maintain their savings. This means the parent(s)/family member get their money back after a period of time. In this case, after 3 years worth of mortgage payments are kept up to date!

This is how it works:


  1. The borrower takes out a Family Springboard Mortgage, while their helper (parent(s)/ family member) opens a Help Start Account that is linked to the Family Springboard Mortgage
  2. The helper then puts in 10% of the purchase price of the house that the borrower wants to buy. This means that Barclays can offer 95%  of the mortgage to the borrower; and the borrower only needs to bring a 5% deposit to secure the mortgage (Terms and condition applies of course! This is United Kingdom of Great Britain)
  3. At the end of three years, the Helpful Start Account is closed and the helper gets their money back with interest accrued
