About us – Providing secured loans and mortgages for homeowners and home buyers
Parity Trust provides secured loans and mortgages, which support homeowners as well as those looking to purchase a property. We have experience in retirement lending (lending to older borrowers – also called later life lending) and providing shared ownership mortgages for Community Land Trust and Housing Association homes. In the past 10 years, we have offered over 650 secured home improvement loans enabling homeowners to invest in their properties.We are proud of our long-standing partnership with a number of local authorities (see below for current partners) which enables us to offer affordable home improvement loans. These loans allow our clients to finance home adaptations (including Disabled Facility Grant top-ups) as well as repairs and improvements.
With the rising cost of living, house prices, shrinking savings pots and diminishing pensions, the need for affordable and flexible borrowing has never been greater..Our lending activity serves to create lasting and sustainable change.
