£325,000 offset mortgage to purchase buy-to-let property
Our client wanted to refinance her home in order to purchase a buy-to-let property.
As she did not have a mortgage she wanted to release equity to buy another property and take advantage of rising house prices in her area.
Case details and solution
We explained that offset mortgages are a good option if you want to borrow money against your home, especially if you don’t need to access the funds immediately.
As our client had not found anywhere to buy she will not need to pay any interest until the funds are drawn down. As requested, the finance was put in place so she could buy a property quickly and in effect be a cash buyer.
