£1.5 million mortgage for Russian living in UK and paid in Rubles
Our Russian client who runs a successful business in Russia, moved to the UK 12 months ago to establish a business here.
His income was derived from his Russian company and his income was derived in Rubles.
After renting a property in southwest London, he found a larger family home to purchase and asked for help to secure a £1.5 million mortgage.
Solution
Trinity approached the large loan lending team at a high street bank specialising in mortgages for foreign nationals with income generated overseas.
