Find a mortgage to suit you

If you're a Guernsey resident, Barclays Wealth offers a complete range of mortgages that can help you buy a property in the island - or in the UK.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, are looking to switch from your current lender, want to remortgage or are looking for an investment opportunity, you'll find attractive mortgage rates and a choice of repayment options.

You may even be able to borrow up to 85% of the property's value or purchase price. In this case you would need to have a deposit to cover the remaining 15%.

What kind of customer are you?

First-time buyer

Buying your first home is probably one of the most exciting experiences you'll ever have, but it's a big step for anyone. We're here to help you handle the challenges and enjoy the change. We believe first-time buyers should have the same choice as any other customer, so you can apply for any of the mortgages we offer in Guernsey. We also have a range of benefits to help make budgeting easier as you start life in your new home.

  • No higher lending charge. Unlike some other lenders, we do not charge a higher lending fee if you borrow more than a given percentage of the value of the property
  • The comfort of knowing how much you´re paying each month for the fixed rate period
  • The chance to buy with another person so you can increase the amount you borrow
  • An early repayment charge may apply for the fixed period.

Looking to switch or remortgage

Getting a new mortgage could save you money and it may be easier than you think. So if the fixed or discounted period of your current mortgage is coming to an end, you may want to consider switching to us. Or maybe your home has risen in value and you are looking to release some equity. Switching your mortgage can also be a cost-effective way of borrowing larger sums of money at lower interest rates.

Investment

If you want to balance your investments, it's worth considering property. With our investment mortgages you'll only need to put down a relatively modest deposit. So whether you're thinking about investing for the first time or are already renting out a property or properties as part of a balanced portfolio, it could help you achieve the return you are looking for.

Types of mortgage

Whatever position you’re in, we offer the following types of mortgage for Guernsey residents:

Whichever option you choose, you’ll always get:

  • Competitive mortgage rates that are among the lowest available in Guernsey
  • A choice of capital repayment or interest-only mortgages
  • Expert advice from experienced advisers with a detailed understanding of the local property market
  • A simple, straightforward application process
  • The help and support you need – start with our step-by-step guide to buying a property
  • The peace of mind that comes with the pedigree and resources of the Barclays group

Fixed rate mortgages

No matter what happens to interest rates, you can get the security of a set monthly repayment for a specific period. After the fixed rate mortgage period ends you revert to a variable interest rate that tracks the Barclays Bank Base Rate (BBBR) and may be higher or lower than the fixed rate.

This is a great option if you’re planning ahead or working to a budget.

  • A range of fixed rate periods, from two to ten
  • Know in advance how much you’ll pay each month during the fixed-rate period
  • Application fees may apply
  • The convenience of a portable mortgage, allowing you to take your mortgage deal with you when you move.

Tracker rate mortgages

This flexible option gives you a rate that moves in line with the Barclays Bank Base Rate (BBBR), so you benefit from general interest rate cuts, irrespective of what happens to specific mortgage rates. Of course, if interest rates rise, your rate and monthly payment will increase too.

  • A variable rate that rises and falls with changes to the Barclays Bank Base Rate (BBBR).
  • The flexibility of no early repayment charges on selected tracker rate mortgages.
  • The convenience of a portable mortgage, so you can take your mortgage deal to a new home if you move.
