At largemortgageloans.com we help people overcome a variety of challenges to secure their ideal property. Often this relates to the client’s individual situation, but in many cases the property itself also proves a challenge to finance.
Case profile
We were recently contacted by a client who faced challenges in both their personal situation and the property they were looking to buy. The investment was a buy to let London property and would be the first purchase in their personal name. Although they didn’t own any residential real estate, they were settled in a marital home and were very clear that this was purely an investment purchase.
The property itself proved challenging to finance as it was a commercial premises with two separate addresses on the title deeds and two kitchens. This is an unusual case and contravenes the regulations of most lenders.
The client’s personal situation also proved challenging because, as they did not own any other property in their own name, lenders were concerned the client would move into the property themselves, therefore removing the rental yield lenders would be relying on to service the interest on the loan.
Solution
Our relationship with a specialist lender allowed us to personally present the client’s case and verify the security of their current living situation. We were also able to give assurances to the Underwriter that – although it had two kitchens – the property would not be split into separate units and one of the kitchens could be easily removed if necessary.
This is just one example of our ability to reach the decision makers who matter, and present the client’s individual situation to secure a successful outcome.

Notes
Overall cost for comparison 5.10% APRC representative variable based on 60 monthly payments at a fixed rate of 3.24% followed by 180 monthly payments at the lenders variable rate, currently 5.68%. Total amount to be repaid £1,836,655.16. As the mortgage rate is not fixed for the duration of the loan this amount is illustrative and may be vary in particular as a result of variations in interest rate.
Because part of the loan is a variable interest rate loan, the actual APRC could be different from this APRC if the interest rate for your loan changes. For example, if the LIBOR rate rose to 7.00%, the APRC could increase to 9.1%. The actual rate and product available will depend upon individual circumstances and may not be available to everyone.
