Refinance Eligibility
Whether you’re moving away from interest-based lending or simply looking for an option that aligns with your values, StrideUp’s shariah-compliant refinance plans help you stay true to your values without compromising on convenience.
Important information
These criteria are a helpful overview but not exhaustive. Your eligibility depends on several factors including your income, credit history, property type and deposit amount. We review every application with care to make sure it’s affordable, sustainable and aligned with our values.
Personal eligibility
- Available to individuals or joint applicants (up to four) who currently have a conventional mortgage or an Islamic Home Purchase Plan.
- If you own your property outright, and you want to take out finance on your property.
- All applicants must be 18 or over at the time of application and the term must end before your 75th birthday.
Financial criteria
- We consider a wide range of income types, including PAYE, second jobs, self-employed (from one year) and contractors.
- We take a practical approach to credit history; past arrears may not automatically mean a ‘no’.
Property requirements

- Minimum property value: £85,000
- Freehold or leasehold (minimum 85 years remaining on the lease).
- The property must be your main residence and not let to tenants.

We can’t accept certain property types including:
- Freehold flats
