What a JBSP mortgage is:
A Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor mortgage allows two or more people to be named on the mortgage, but only one person is named on the title deeds and legally owns the property.
The supporting borrower(s) help pass affordability checks, but do not gain ownership rights and do not appear on the deeds.
