Buckinghamshire Building Society has rebranded its Family Assist product for first-time buyers as Deposit Lite, which it says “better reflects the essence and benefits” of this loan.  

The mutual says key features of Deposit Lite include:   

  • Aimed at FTBs with little or no deposit  
  • Borrow up to 100% of the purchase price using equity in a parent’s or grandparent’s property   
  • Loan terms of up to 40 years   

Buckinghamshire Building Society head of mortgage sales Claire Askham says: “Deposit Lite is specifically designed to ease the journey onto the property ladder for FTBs who need a helping hand.   

“By securing a collateral charge on a family member’s property, we’re opening doors to homeownership that might otherwise remain closed.  

“We recognise that the traditional routes to buying a home are not always viable for everyone.   

“Therefore, we are continuously seeking to adapt and offer solutions that resonate with and support the aspirations of a diverse range of homebuyers.”
