Adding an income booster to the application often increases owners’ budget. They can also choose to contribute to the monthly payments, boosting the budget even more and build their own equity stake.
A booster can be taken off when the owners can afford the remainder of the mortgage, meaning we can often offer longer terms upfront.
We offer up to 95% LTV products on standard properties and 90% LTV on new builds.
Deposit boosters (family or friends) can help owners with their deposit in return for a financial interest / financial stake in the property.
We provide a deposit booster agreement free of charge and manage loan repayment.
We offer up to 90% LTV products on new build properties (subject to critieria).
We only require 1 year of accounts if your customer is buying with another employed borrower.
Our maximum borrowing age is 85 — that goes for homeowners and income boosters.
If your client’s affordability is limited by their income booster’s age, they might be be able to use our ejector seat feature.
With an ejector seat, we can build an ‘off-ramp’ for the income booster into the mortgage, using smart calculations to work out if the owners will be able to afford the mortgage on their own at that point. It means their mortgage term might not have to be constrained by when their income booster reaches 85.

Income boosters need to be a family member: parents and step-parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, or children.
Deposit boosters can be anyone the homeowners know — friends or family.
If they want to, income boosters can contribute to the monthly payments.This lowers the split of the monthly payments the owners have to pay, potentially increasing their affordability and borrowing potential.If income boosters contribute, they can choose to treat it as a gift, or build up their own equity in the property.
Yes! If you have a client going through a breakup or divorce, an income or deposit booster could help them afford their home on their own.
Remortgaging with an income booster could help boost their affordability. Remortgaging with a deposit booster could help bridge the equity difference.
A deposit booster could also help bring down their LTV, letting them access more borrowing.
Unfortunately, income boosters and deposit boosters aren’t available with an active Help to Buy loan.
However, if you have a client looking to pay off their Help to Buy equity loan, remortgaging to Generation Home with a capital raise up to 90% LTV could help them do it.
