Buy a Home in London the Halal Way – Fraser Bond Connects Muslim Buyers with Ethical, Sharia-Compliant Mortgage Providers

For many Muslims living in London, buying a home can be challenging—not just due to market prices, but also because conventional mortgages involve interest (Riba), which is prohibited in Islamic finance. The good news is: yes, Muslims can get Halal mortgages in London, thanks to growing demand and the availability of Sharia-compliant property finance options across the UK.

At Fraser Bond, we work with Muslim clients across London to find and secure Halal mortgage solutions that meet religious, legal, and financial requirements.


What Is a Halal Mortgage?

A Halal mortgage, also known as a Home Purchase Plan (HPP), avoids interest by using ethical, asset-based finance models approved under Sharia law. Instead of lending money and charging interest, the bank and buyer enter into a partnership or lease agreement that facilitates home ownership without Riba.

The Three Main Types of Halal Mortgages:

Diminishing Musharaka

  • Buyer and bank co-own the property

  • You pay rent on the bank’s share and gradually buy it out

  • Full ownership transfers at the end

Ijara (Lease-to-Own)

  • The bank buys the property and leases it to you

  • You pay rent and acquire ownership at the end of the lease

Murabaha (Cost-Plus Purchase)

  • The bank buys the home and sells it to you at a fixed profit

  • Payments are made in agreed instalments without interest

These structures are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and reviewed by Sharia supervisory boards for compliance.
