Frequently asked questions
The rent is calculated against the share owned by the landlord, meaning the more you purchase, the lower the rent will be. If you have a specific property in mind, you should be able to obtain the rent information from the agent or landlord.
If this is not possible or you simply wish to budget, there is a typical calculation you can use to get you started. While rent can vary, a good rule of thumb is to calculate 3% of the landlord’s share. The following gives an example using a purchase price of £250,000:
Percentage ownership Landlord share
50% share = £125,000 £125,000 x 3% = £3,750 pa or £312pm
25% share = £62,500 £187,500 x 3% = £5,625 pa or £469pm

I was happy with how responsive Jordan was initially. But I voiced a concern to Jordan on 22/11/2024 that he might not have been a whole of market broker as he did not place me with the lowest overall rate available to me. I also voiced concerns that he advised me that I had to go with a 10% deposit although I preferred a 5%. I was surprised that he did not take this matter as a complaint but advised that he didn't want to "affect" my mortgage application. This left me feeling that if I pressed the issue I would not get the mortgage that I qualified for. I would have liked this issue raised as a complaint so that I could have had the best rate and terms available to me and that is the reason for the score. I did refer some people to Jordan but I did advise them to ensure they got the best rate from the 'whole of market'. Jordan no longer returns my calls.
