What are Sharia compliant mortgages?
Sometimes called Islamic Mortgages or Sharia-law compliant mortgages are technically not mortgages. Instead, they are normally home purchase plans that help you buy a home in a way that doesn’t involve paying interest or taking out a loan. You'll agree to purchase a share of the home, then buy more of it over time.
Islamic mortgage alternatives are complex products, so it's worth talking to experts like our award-winning team to help you find the right scheme for you.
To get started, create a free Tembo plan - it takes 10 minutes to complete, and there's no credit check involved. At the end, you'll get a personalised recommendation of all the Sharia compliant buying schemes you're eligible for. You can also book in a call with one of our team to talk through your options.
What truly sets Tembo apart is their personalised approach. They took the time to understand our unique situation, financial standing, and aspirations. With their guidance, we secured a plan tailored to our needs, allowing us to comfortably manage our monthly payments without compromising on our dream home's quality.

StrideUp
Borrow up to 6.5x your income with StrideUp's smart home purchase plan. You'll buy the share of the home you can afford now, and StrideUp will co-purchase the remainder. Over time, you'll build up your equity stake through the monthly payments to gradually increase the amount of the property you own.
Your Home
Your Home's part buy, part rent scheme lets you buy a share of a home, then pay rent on the rest. You can choose to purchase more of the home over time or sell your share, benefitting from any property value gains. Plus, you're entitled to 50% of the value increase on the share you didn't buy, too.
Wayhome
Through Wayhome's Gradual Homeownership scheme, you could live in a home worth 10x your income. You'll buy a share of the property then pay rent on the rest, choosing to buy more of the property each month or in lump sums when you're ready.
