Share a Mortgage - a brief overview...

Share a mortgage: this device is aimed at the millions of people in the UK who want to buy a property, but can't afford to do it on their own. Whether you are living at home, renting or an investor looking to share a buy to let property; you can find someone at Share a Mortgage to buy with.

It is a solution to the problem increasingly faced by most people at some point in their lives, namely how to afford their first step onto the property ladder and leave the rental market.

Why should you Share a Mortgage

Everyone wants to own their own home, but they struggle to afford the large deposit and high mortgage repayments. Whilst you can't afford paying to own your property on your own, you can share a mortgage and but with someone else. In fact, most people who don't own their own property, are already living with other people; flat mates or family.

Share a Mortgage makes property buying affordable for everyone and should be seen as a stepping stone to getting your own property. Initial Mortgage Terms can be as low as 2 years which means you can share a mortgage with someone and then move on after this time. In the space of 2 years house price of a home can go up considerably. For example, the average house price in London in October 2011 was £338,637, however this increased to £389,656 years later. That is an increase of £51,019 and this would be shared between the you and your Mortgage Buddies.

Share a Mortgage gives you a unique opportunity to get on the property ladder, save money by sharing the costs and sell after 2 years; hopefully making a good profit on the increase in property value. For more information on how you can exit, click here .

Creating a Mortgage Group

As you are looking for another 2 or 3 Mortgage Buddies you can create a Mortgage Group inside your profile. If you have found 1 Mortgage Buddy and are looking for another Mortgage Buddy to complete the Group, you can simply advertise your Mortgage Group and state what you are looking for.

Get Your Offer Accepted

Once you have a complete Mortgage Group you can get your offer accepted on a property. You can use Rightmove, Zoopla or any other property portal to start or search, but much like finding the right Mortgage Buddy, finding the right home to buy will take lots of viewings. Estimate around 16 to 20 viewings before you finally get an offer accepted, but then again it could happen on the first!

You are buying as a Mortgage Group so make sure you can do viewings together. This is an exciting time, so enjoy it. House hunting is something you never thought you could do until you came to Share a Mortgage.
