What is a guarantor mortgage?
A guarantor mortgage is a loan for a home where a person, usually a parent or close family member, shoulders some of the risk by acting as a guarantor for the borrower. Typically, this involves them offering their own home or savings as security against the loan and agreeing to cover the borrower’s mortgage repayments should they miss them. Some lenders will allow you to borrow 100% of the property’s value with a guarantor mortgage by using your relative’s collateral in the place of a deposit.
Having a guarantor could help you get a loan if you have bad credit or it could allow you to borrow more for your mortgage. However, the main downside is that the guarantor could be liable for any shortfall if your property has to be repossessed and sold. So, there is a lot to consider when you are looking at the most suitable mortgage options for you.
If you need further help and guidance get in touch with our team at Finance Advice Centre. Our specialist advisers can find the most suitable deals for your personal circumstances and assist you with the application process to give you the best possible chance of getting accepted for a guarantor mortgage with bad credit.
Who are guarantor mortgages suitable for?
A guarantor mortgage can be the right step if you are looking to buy a property with:
- A low income – lenders will determine how much you can borrow based on your income, so having a guarantor could help you get a bigger loan if your income is lower
- A small or no deposit – you could possibly borrow 100% of a property’s value with a guarantor mortgage
- A bad credit score – a lender might be more inclined to accept your application if you have a guarantor
- Little or no credit history – such as if you have never had a credit card
One of our expert advisers can offer you more in-depth advice on whether a guarantor mortgage is suitable for you and your financial situation.
Who can be a guarantor for a mortgage?
Most providers will require the guarantor for your mortgage to be a close family member, normally a parent or guardian. Your guarantor will need to have:
- A property or savings – lenders can either hold some of the guarantor’s savings in a locked account or take legal control over a part of their property to secure the mortgage
- A good credit history – to show providers that they are financially reliable
- Received legal advice – this is a requirement by some providers to confirm that guarantors understand the risks involved

Types of guarantor mortgages
Guarantor mortgages all come with slightly different eligibility criteria and names, but they usually fall into one of two categories.
Savings as security
Some providers will offer mortgages where a family member puts cash (normally 5%-20% of the property price) in a special savings account. This money is kept as security for your mortgage for a set number of years until the amount you owe drops below a specific percentage of the property’s value. Your guarantor can earn interest on the money linked to your mortgage, but the rate might be lower than they would get with other savings accounts.
Property as security
These guarantor deals involve a charge being put against their property. Therefore, to be eligible the guarantor will need to own a large portion of their home outright. If the worst happens and the lender has to repossess and sell your property for less than the amount that is left on your mortgage, your family member could be at risk of losing their property.
A guarantor mortgage with bad credit could be more attainable for you with certain lenders, but it does not guarantee a successful application. The best approach would be to get in touch with us at Finance Advice Centre and our team can put you on track for the right deal for you and give you the best chance of success.
As a mortgage is secured against your property, it may be repossessed if you do not keep up the mortgage repayments. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.

We had a long journey buying our first home together and recent pandemic events didn’t help matters. Every step of the way, our advisor Steve was supportive, positive and we had every confidence in him. He was able to arrange a good deal for us and we were able to move into our dream house this autumn.
