Jimbo 133 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just having a scan for a mortgage an found this:- Muslim Mortgages This is getting beyond a joke tbh Discuss <lights torch and sits back> I don't think its only Muslims that have their own style mortgages, I think other religions have their own particular style loans, I think its all down to the phrasing of the agreements so it doesn't contravine rulings in the Koran etc regarding lending and loaning.

GeordieMessiah 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Absolutely nothing wrong with this - only fillinga gap in the mortgage market, which as it is will only be of any use in large swathes of Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14061 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) Well exactly. I don't see how it's any different to lenders offering mortages tailored to the needs of first-time buyers or gay couples or any other group of people with different needs to Mr. and Mrs. 2-Kids-and-a-Dog.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 As far as I'm aware, they're not exclusive to Muslims, they've just been designed for Muslims because the standard mortgages come under what Islam constitutes as gambling, which is a sin. I think that's fair enough, its filling a gap and there's nothing to stop non-Muslims from taking out a Muslim Mortgage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) It doesn't say it's a "muslim only" mortgage though, does it? I doubt you'd not be allowed on this scheme if you weren't a muslim or you'd have to prove you were before they'd accept you. A bit like some take aways will use halal meat, and airlines will serve kosher meals but it doesn't mean only muslims can eat there or BA are serving "jew only" food. Like Sheilas Wheels, a mate of mine rang up claiming to be a transsexual and asking if he'd be able to get his car insured to see what they would say, and they said anyone, male, female or tranny could get car insurance from them.

I think it was more to settle a pub argument of "So could a tranny get insurance from Sheila's Wheels" Although if they said no he could have gone lavender for a while and tried to sue I guess.

adios 717 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 You have raised a very interesting question in my mind as to what their insurance would cost, though. I'm assuming the answer is very straight forward, that you get charged at the same rates as the sex you were born as; otherwise there could be some very dodgy strategies for dealing with the cost of insurance, long-term anyway.

adios 717 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Muslims aren't some homogenous group you know. Bollocks, underneath all that head-wear, they're basically fruit flies. I'm sure the OP started a thread recently about them that made me similarly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Are they allowed to keep the equity from the house if and when they sell it? The real punt when buying the house is the future value, or is that what this is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
