£1 million remortgage for client releasing equity to help son purchase property
Trinity Financial recently arranged a £1 million remortgage for a client switching rates and releasing equity from his home.
He was remortgaging to secure a cheap two-year fix and raising funds to gift to his son to use as a deposit to purchase a property.
Our client asked for help because his existing lender would not offer him the money on an interest-only basis or a long enough mortgage term.
Even though he had a £2.5 million property and an excellent salary, the lender would not provide a sufficient mortgage because he was in his 60’s. The combination of a shorter-term and larger mortgage would have made the monthly payments too high on full capital repayment.
After struggling to secure enough money through the standard high street lenders, we contacted the large loan team at a large bank which provides Trinity’s brokers and a limited number of London-based firms with access to its specialist underwriters.
After discussing the client's overall financial situation, they agreed to a nine-year term on interest-only and even provided a larger loan than its affordability calculator suggested was possible.
The bank provided a free property valuation and free legal fees. It did not have an issue with the additional funds being used as a gifted deposit.
