£500,000 interest-only second home mortgage to give client time to complete property refurbishment
Trinity Financial recently secured a second home mortgage for a client enabling him to live in his house while completing the refurbishment works on a new property.
He knew that mortgage lenders do not like borrowers to live in a property when it has been converted to a buy-to-let, but he needed to refinance to raise the money to purchase his new home.
Solution
Rather than arranging a standard buy-to-let mortgage, Trinity’s broker arranged a second residential mortgage enabling our client to live in both properties at the same time. This gave him the time and money to complete the work.
To keep the monthly payments to a minimum, we arranged the mortgage on an interest-only basis and secured a product without any early repayment charges.
Once the renovation competed, and his existing home was ready to be let, we arranged a remortgage to switch the property onto a cheap buy-to-let fixed rate.
