With StrideUp’s Home Purchase Plan, it is not a traditional mortgage with interest charges. Instead, we offer a Shariah-compliant alternative based on the Diminishing Musharakah structure, where you and StrideUp co-own the property, and over time, your ownership share increases.
​

Key Differences from a Conventional Mortgage:

🏑 Co-ownership model – Instead of lending money, we co-purchase the property with you.
πŸ’° Diminishing Musharakah structure – You pay rent on the portion of the property we own while gradually buying more of our share each month, until you fully own your home.
​

Similarities to a Traditional Mortgage:

βœ” Regulated & secure – StrideUp is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
βœ” Freedom of choice – You can choose any property on the open market that meets our criteria.
βœ” Deposit & monthly payments – You start with a deposit and continue paying monthly until you fully own your home.
βœ” Early ownership options – Overpayments are allowed, so you can own your home sooner if you choose.
​

⚠ Important: Failure to keep up with your Home Purchase Plan payments may lead to repossession of your home.
