Waqar Ahmed, sales and marketing officer at alburaq said: “Recent increases in the cost of mortgages in the UK has impacted Islamic finance as well as conventional mortgages, placing an increasing strain on household budgets.

“This is great news for customers and especially those looking to establish a foothold on the property ladder. The promotions demonstrate our continued commitment to keep our Islamic financial products innovative and accessible."

Alburaq’s Shariah compliant home-finance and buy-to-let finance schemes have generated considerable attention from the Muslim community since launch and the fast growing Islamic mortgage market is predicted to grow to over £1 billion by 2009.

With traditional interest-based mortgages out of the question for many, the only choice for home ownership has been either going against the faith, or avoiding a mortgage altogether.
