Assignable contract mortgage for £445,000 new build purchase
Trinity recently secured an assignable contract mortgage for a first-time buyer purchasing a new build flat.
After renting for some time, he decided to purchase a flat after his parents agreed to gift him a substantial deposit.
As the property was originally bought off plan and was remarketed by another developer, he needed a specific reassignment mortgage.
Solution
Most of the banks and building societies do not like reassignment of contract mortgages, although there a couple of lenders offering terms.
Trinity approached a bank providing low rates with flexible acceptance criteria. It has a track record of producing fast mortgage offers, enabling clients to complete quickly.
As our client was concerned about rates rising in the future, he locked into a fixed rate mortgage.
The bank also has an impressive retention policy ensuring customers can access new deals when their rates expire.
