£1.5 million mortgage for banker previously working in Hong Kong for 10 years
Case details
Trinity were approached by a leading banker who recently returned to the UK after living and working in Hong Kong for the last 10 years.
As he been out of the country for so long, he did not have a strong UK employment record or address history.
Solution
As our client was keen to secure a fast mortgage offer we approached a bank offering excellent large loan rates with a proven track record of providing larger loans efficiently.
We dealt directly with the banks premier team and they were happy with his income, even though it was limited in the UK. They were also happy with his track record of employment, despite it most being generated mainly in Hong Kong.
Many of the lenders expect borrowers to be in the UK for two years, although we approached one of the more flexible banks.
After submitting the application, the mortgage offer was produced in 10 working days.
