How will Bluestone assess affordability on Help to Buy cases?
Bluestone will assess affordability in the same way as a standard residential mortgage application but with the equity loan added as a monthly commitment. The calculation will be based on the initial 1.75% of the equity loan. E.g. Equity loan is £75,000, x1.75% divided by 12 = £109.38pm entered as an committed expenditure.
