£600,000+ mortgage for music industry contractors returning from sabbatical
Trinity Financial recently helped two clients working as contractors in the music industry to secure a £600,000+ mortgage.
They had recently been on a three-month sabbatical and had just returned to work for a new company.
Before their overseas break, applicant one had a track a record of contracting, but applicant two was on maternity leave for 18 months - although she had experience of contracting.
Solution
As many mortgage lenders do not allow three-month breaks in contracts and applicant two not having a recent track record, most lenders could not assist.
To add further complications, the applicants had a 10% deposit and required a lender who could take their daily rate at face value and provide five-times the annual amount.
Trinity’s broker approached a mortgage lender with the ability to agree on cases outside of its standard criteria and look at the whole case. The application was pre-approved and an offer produced within two weeks.

Value: £680,000
