Background

Many people with disabilities or support needs have to rely on benefits to make up their income. However, this need not prevent them obtaining a mortgage in order to buy their own home. It will though restrict the types of mortgages available, and this will be discussed during the advice process.

Mortgage advisers at banks and building societies, mortgage brokers and independent financial advisers may not have the specialist knowledge required in order to advise you about how to buy a home if you have disabilities or support needs and are reliant on benefits. They may therefore mistakenly believe that it is not possible for benefits to be used to buy a home. For specialist advice contact Mysafehome.

Mysafehome was originally established in 1997 as David Abbey Consultancy with the sole aim of providing mortgage services for people with disabilities or support needs.
