Maisam Fazal, Chief Commercial Officer at Al Rayan Bank, said: “With this latest product extension, the possibility of purchasing a buy-to-let property has been made more widely available.
“We’re continually striving to offer a full range of Sharia compliant best-in-class products to our customers of all faiths and none and this is the latest offering in our award-winning products.”
Al Rayan Bank's BTLPP uses the Islamic finance principles of co-ownership (diminishing musharaka) with leasing (Ijara).
Customers acquire the property in partnership with the bank, and monthly payment contributions increase their share of the property. They will also pay a rental charge to the bank for the proportion of the property they do not own yet.
Upon completion of the payment terms, the customer becomes the sole owner of the property. Limited Company Buy to Let Purchase Plans are available from Al Rayan Bank up to 75% FTV for customers who wish to buy investment property in a limited company’s name.
