Case profile

Our client wished to refinance his home into a Buy to Let property, to raise finance for a new main residence. However, the poor condition of the new property made finding a mortgage at a good rate problematic.
The client is a high net worth individual, who recently returned to the UK from abroad, where his wife and children reside. He planned to renovate the new property and develop it into a new family home.

The first challenge was that the new property was very dilapidated. As it needed work done, a retention would be applied to any mortgage issued, meaning that the client would not receive all of the funds until the property was renovated. In addition, the client had only recently started in a new job prior to his application for a complex mortgage. Most lenders require at least twelve months employment with the current employer.

As the client wanted to purchase the new home whilst keeping his former residential property as a Buy to Let, this made completing the purchase, within four to six weeks, before the stamp duty increase on 4 April 2016, very urgent.

The client was not willing to proceed with the purchase, if they could not meet this deadline.

Solution

Using our extensive knowledge of complex cases and calling upon our range of banking contacts, we overcame the difficulties of this case and sourced a mortgage before the deadline, with a minimal retention cost.

Many private banks we approached would only view the property as a development project, making the rate more expensive. However, using our wide range of contacts we sourced a lender who would take a view on the property, and the client’s occupational history.

From the lender’s valuation, the surveyor initially applied a full retention of £999,999 to the property. This was too high. Working closely with the client and our contact at the bank, we reduced the retention by using additional engineer’s reports to make our case.
After negotiating with the lender we successfully overcame this final challenge and secured the necessary finance with a retention of only £50,000. We also met all the requirements of the lender before the stamp duty deadline, saving the client £50,000, 3% of the purchase price.

The client was very pleased with the outcome, which he would not have achieved had he not sought specialist advice, and can now start renovations on his new home.
