Alburaq–Islamic Home Finance ABC International Bank (ABC) and Bristol & West plc offer you Alburaq – Islamic Home Finance. Then ABC International Bank and Bristol & West will provide all the technical expertise and support, plus the home finance itself. Alburaq Home Finance is based on the principles of Ijara and Diminishing Musharakah Instead of lending money for a property, Bristol &West will buy the home, contributing up to 90 per cent of the purchase price. You will pay the remaining share and pay the outstanding sum over an agreed term, together with a rental payment.
Alburaq is a registered trade mark of ABC International Bank plc and is the brand name under which home finance product is provided.

How it works?

Alburaq offers:
•First time buyer / home mover mortgages
• Buy to let options (for up to 10 properties)
• Self cert. options
Described simply, both you and the Bank will each contribute towards the purchase of the home. For example, the Bank may contribute 90% and you 10% of the purchase price. Over a period of up to 25 years, you will make monthly purchase instalments through which the Bank will sell its share (90%) of the home to you. With each payment instalment, the Bank’s share in the property diminishes while your share correspondingly increases. While the purchase instalments are being made, the Bank will charge you a rent for the use of its share of the property, the rent being calculated according to the respective shares owned: Step 1 - You make an initial payment to Bristol & West of at least 10% of the property value. You sign two contracts, the Diminishing Musharakah contract and the Ijara contract. Then you promise to purchase the remaining 90% of the property over an agreed period and you agree to pay rent to Bristol and West.

Step 2 - Bristol & West contributes up to 90% of the property value and buys the property on your behalf
Step 3 - The property is then transferred to you from the seller.
Step 4 - The property deeds are transferred to Bristol & West.
Step 5 - When you have purchased the property completely, the property deeds are transferred to you.
