Case profile
The client was looking to become a Buy to Let landlord for the first time. However, due to the property having a protected tenancy and the fact that he was not deemed to be an experienced landlord, finding a mortgage was difficult.
Our client wanted to purchase an investment property through a UK Limited company structure or SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) at 75% of the purchase price.
The property was a freehold made up of 12 self-contained apartments. Most were rented out to students; however, one apartment was rented out on a protected tenancy.
As a result the amount of rent the landlord can legally charge was restricted. This was problematic as most of the lenders we initially approached would not consider offering a mortgage against a property with a unit of this type.
In addition, the case was complicated by the fact the client did not currently own any other Buy to Let properties, and was not, therefore, considered an experienced landlord. This was also of concern to most lenders, due to the type of multi-unit property he was interested in purchasing.
Solution
Using our extensive range of private bank contacts, we were able to find a lender who was willing to take a view on the client’s lack of experience as a landlord.
The lender was happy to offer a loan based on 75% of the property purchase price, minus the estimated value of the flat which was rented out on the protected tenancy agreement.
The client was happy with our solution and was able to make their first large Buy to Let acquisition.
