£1 million buy-to-let remortgage to release funds to purchase new home
Our clients asked for help to secure a £1 million buy-to-let mortgage against their existing home. They wanted to purchase a new main residence with cash.
As the house was unencumbered, the clients liked the idea of buying their new home while retaining the old one for investment purposes.
Even though the house was in a great location, the anticipated rental income was not enough to support the mortgage.
Solution
Trinity’s broker approached a challenger bank offering let-to-buy mortgages, allowing them to release funds from their home while letting it out.
As the rental income generated by the property was not enough to fund the full loan amount, the bank took their pension and investment income to boost the mortgage loan size.
The bank had a generous interest-only policy and was happy to offer a 15-year term.
