£700,000 mortgage to buy a country house
Case details
After finding Trinity’s contact details via a Google search, our client asked for help to secure a £700,000 mortgage to buy a country house in Gloucestershire.
As he was living in rented accommodation and his offer had been accepted, he wanted a mortgage agreed as quickly as possible.
He received a generous basic salary but a large part of his income was through a profit related scheme. He also required us to find a lender happy to accept his bonus income.
Solution:
We approached a bank with low mortgage rates and fast processing times.
They were willing to accept up to 50% of any bonus income and were happy to lend if clients have profit related pay.
As the property was older and in a rural location, we also asked our buildings insurance specialist to provide a thorough insurance policy to ensure they were fully protected.
