Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor mortgages can provide an effective way to improve affordability without transferring property ownership. At CRC Mortgages, our experienced mortgage brokers in Liverpool are here to offer clear, straightforward advice and help guide you through this specialised type of home financing.
What Are Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor Mortgages?
A Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor Mortgage allows two or more individuals to apply for and jointly borrow mortgage funds; however, only one individual assumes legal ownership of the property. This arrangement can be particularly beneficial for circumstances where you want to boost affordability, such as when parents or other family members wish to assist in mortgage affordability without assuming ownership.
Typically, this can be helpful in scenarios such as:
- Parents wishing to help their children onto the property ladder but not wanting ownership or equity in the property.
- Couples, where one party already owns a property but wants to support affordability without being named on deeds.
- Individuals seeking mortgage assistance from family members to meet affordability requirements without transferring legal property ownership.
At CRC Mortgages, our goal is helping you understand the complexities involved with Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor arrangements clearly and transparently, ensuring you have all of the necessary information to make an informed decision.
YOUR HOME/PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT
The FCA does not regulate some forms of Buy to Lets. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home/property.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount of the fee will depend upon your circumstances but will range from £449 to £699 and this will be discussed and agreed with you at the earliest opportunity.

How Does Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor Mortgages Work?
The concept of a Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor mortgage can initially appear complex. However, our expert mortgage advisors in Liverpool take the time to carefully explain exactly how the product operates. Essentially, multiple individuals apply for and hold responsibility for the mortgage repayments, but only a single borrower holds the legal ownership of the property.
In practice, lenders assess the combined income of all joint mortgage applicants, potentially allowing greater mortgage borrowing capacity. Importantly, while responsibility for mortgage repayments is shared, ownership and equity remain solely with the named proprietor.
Our knowledgeable Liverpool mortgage advisors will talk you through lender criteria, affordability calculations, and legal considerations clearly and concisely, guiding you each step of the way.
