A JBSP mortgage is designed to help people on ‘lower’ incomes to get support from someone (usually a family member) who will add their name to the mortgage in order for their income to be used in the mortgage assessment. The aim is to essentially use more income to increase the maximum loan available, hopefully providing the extra help to get you on the property ladder or buy a more expensive property than you could afford by yourself.
As the person assisting in only on the mortgage and not on the deeds, they do not pay the 3% stamp duty surcharge for second properties and have no rights over any equity in the property at any time, you also still qualify for any first time buyer incentives.
Many lenders offering joint borrower sole proprietor mortgages also allow the deposit to be gifted from a family member
