£978,000 mortgage to convert self-contained flats into main residence

Trinity Financial recently arranged a mortgage to help a couple purchase a house split into two self-contained flats.

They wanted a fast mortgage offer to purchase a double fronted Victorian property on their favourite road. Even though the house was split into two self-contained flats they were happy to carry out the renovation work and bring it back to one property if they could get a mortgage.

As they had recently sold their home so they had a large deposit but as they were buying for £1.63 million, so they required a 60% loan-to-value mortgage (£978,000) to purchase the property.

Trinity’s broker spoke to a large high street lender offering extremely low rates and they agreed to provide funding on the basis the clients converted the property back into one main residence.

The bank offered a rate of 1.71% fixed until 31/05/2023 with an arrangement fee of £1,598.

The total amount repayable would be £1,417,417.20 made up of the loan amount, plus interest (£789,080.02) and fees of £749. The overall cost for comparison is 3.3% APRC representative.
