Mortgage and interest how about abolition of interest ?

By bo, 8 April, 2007, No Comment

When we want to buy a house we deal with a very huge problem. The interest. This stuff is going to make unhappy every potential buyer. How would it if we don’t have this interest. How about abolition of interest ? The muslim law, the so called shariah, has prevented many muslims to buy a house because of the abolition of interest. This is a religious goal and a value in their lives.

And how they buy a house ? :-) In Britain there are few bank that offer a solution. They have recognized that buying a home is for most people the biggest financial commitment. It can be time-consuming, expensive and frustrating. For people that an make the process smoother by equiping self with the right information the life is easier.

Two options exist that correspond with Muslim law:

• Deferred sale finance mortgage

• And Lease to own mortgage

 

The banks that offer the solutions are (found on internet):

  • HSBC Amanah
  • Alburaq
  • Ahli United Bank
  • United National Bank
