How do the banks view NRAS properties?

Getting approval for a loan largely depends on the type of consortium & legal structure that you choose to use.

Some consortiums are considered high risk by the lenders and have policies that do not match the banks.

Schemes available

Various consortiums have different structures. ‘Head lease’ structures allow groups to form joint ventures and invest in NRAS properties.

However, the consortiums that are structured as ‘non-entity joint ventures’ are favoured by lenders.

Why can’t I borrow more?

Lenders may choose to restrict the amount that you are eligible to borrow, as most banks do not include the tax exemptions when assessing your ability to repay the loan.

This means that the amount you are eligible to borrow may be restricted.

Why is bank policy so strict?

Because a property under the NRAS is on a fixed lease for a period of up to 10 years, it reduces the saleability of the property. Whilst the property is under the lease, it continues to be subject to its terms, thus any investor wishing to sell it, must find a party that is willing to be bound by the lease conditions. Terminating the NRAS results in a penalty.

This makes it difficult for lenders to accept this property as a security type, as it does not have the ease of sale that is associated with conventional homes.
