We’re committed to supporting brokers with Shared Ownership solutions that offer flexibility and a personal approach to underwriting. Our Shared Ownership mortgages are designed to help your clients take their first steps onto the property ladder.

Helping Your Clients Take Their First Step on the Property Ladder

At Furness Building Society, we understand the unique challenges first-time buyers face. That’s why our Shared Ownership mortgages are designed with flexibility and personal service at their core. From manual underwriting to innovative affordability boosts, we offer tailored solutions to help brokers support their clients. With competitive rates, no automated credit scoring, and a commitment to understanding every case, we’re here to make homeownership achievable for more people.

Why Choose Furness?

• Manual Underwriting
We take the time to assess every case individually, providing solutions for clients with complex income structures or non-standard circumstances.
• Stress Testing
Our 5 year mortgages provide stability of interest payments and as a result, we can offer higher loan sizes on these products.
• Improved Affordability
EPC A/B properties on average cost less to run, therefore your clients can get a boost in maximum loan size, up to £24k.
• No Credit Scoring
Unlike many lenders, we don’t use automated scorecards, giving us the flexibility to consider clients who might not meet rigid criteria elsewhere.
• 5% Builder Incentives
We allow up to 5% builder incentives within our criteria, offering more options for your clients purchasing new-build homes.
• Fixed-Rate Options
Our Shared Ownership range includes competitive 5-year fixed-rate products, giving your clients payment stability and peace of mind.
• Upfront Case Reviews
For non-standard cases, we provide an upfront case review to ensure clarity and a smoother application process.

Product Features

• We lend on new-build homes, including flats, up to 95% Loan to Share.
• Available across England and Wales.
• Designed to meet the needs of first-time buyers and those with smaller deposits.
