Let-to-buy mortgage for investment banker buying new family home
Trinity Financial recently arranged a £1 million mortgage for an investment banker buying a large family home.
He asked for help to find a lender offering five-times salary mortgages using his bonus income to boost affordability.
As he wanted to keep his existing property for investment purposes, he also required help to convert the property into a buy-to-let and release funds to put towards the new home. This is known as a let-to-buy mortgage.
Trinity’s broker approached a large high street bank providing 5.5 times salary mortgages to applications earning over £100,000. The lender accepted up to 60% of bonus income. He also arranged a buy-to-let mortgage to convert his property into a buy-to-let and the lender provided a highly competitive rate.
Even though there was a selection cheaper short-term rates, our client locked into a 1.99% five-year fix for the long-term payment security. The lender provided a free property valuation and a fast mortgage offer.
