Income booster
Afford more, start owning sooner
Boost your buying power and get on the ladder sooner with an income booster.
What
is an income booster?
Someone who goes on the mortgage to help you borrow more, but won’t own or live in the home.
Who
can be an income booster?
A family member – parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, or uncles.
Afford more
Add an income booster to your mortgage and afford more sooner.
Income boosters can (if they want) help with the monthly payments and build up equity...Or they can just stay on standby.
Keep first-time buyer benefits
An income booster doesn’t mean more stamp duty.
For a good time, not a long time
When you’re ready, take your booster off and fly solo with the ejector seat

Answers for the group
No – income boosters don’t go on the property deeds. Only the owners will own the home.
When you remortgage – as long as you can afford the mortgage on your own, and you meet our eligibility (we’ll look at your income and credit again). For more information, get in touch with the team.
Yes, as long as they meet our age and income requirements. Read those here.
No! They can contribute, or just be on standby. But they’re responsible for repayments, just like any other borrower on the mortgage.
No, any applicant who’s going to be living in the home will have to go on the mortgage as an owner (not a booster).
No, unfortunately – only family members (parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, or children of someone on the application) can be an income booster. But friends can be deposit boosters!
