Dudley Building Society has launched a new home loan aimed at people with long-term disabilities.

The product is an exclusive deal with mortgage arranger MySafeHome, a leading advisor for home ownership for people with long-term disabilities (HOLD) mortgages.

The mutual says the loan tracks the government’s support for mortgage interest rate “so that borrowers don’t need to top up their mortgage payments”, and is available across the West Midlands region.

Coventry-based MySafeHome was founded in 1997 and has helped over 1,400 people to become homeowners through the HOLD programme.

Dudley Building Society chief executive James Paterson says: “The society is dedicated to supporting our communities, so the opportunity to provide mortgages for borrowers with long-term disabilities is something that we strive towards.

“The impact that homeownership has for borrowers with long-term disabilities is life changing, as it provides them with valuable independence.”

MySafeHome managing director David Abbey adds: “The launch of this new mortgage is a true testament to Dudley Building Society’s commitment to support all members of the various communities it serves, and the society should be justifiably very proud of giving people with disabilities such an incredible, life-changing opportunity.”

Last February, Dudley Building Society launched an earlier partnership with MySafeHome to arrange home loans for people with disabilities.
