What is a Track Record Mortgage?

  • You are 21+
  • You haven't missed any payments on debts or credit commitments in the last six months
  • You want to borrow up to £600,000
  • You aren't looking to buy a new build flat
  • You are not looking to purchase a property in Northern Ireland.

Sole Applicants:

  • You've paid all rent for 12 months consecutively within the last 18 months. You may also be required to show proof of payments of household bills. 

Joint Applicants (up to four people):

  • You can prove that all rent has been paid either by one applicant or together for 12 months consecutively, within the last 18 months
  • If you've been renting separately you can prove that you have paid all your rent
  • You may be required to show proof of payments of household bills.

New criteria as of September 2024:

  • Also now available on new build flats and some applicants will be able to get one of the loans when monthly repayments amount to 120% of their prior rent payments
  • Borrowers can opt for a repayment period of 40 years (was 35 years)
