French couple with limited credit history secure £550,000 mortgage
Case details
An estate agent contact of Trinity’s asked us to help his clients to secure a mortgage.
As they moved from France less than a year ago they thought it would be better to get help to navigate the market and obtain a competitive rate.
As one of the borrowers was the managing director of an energy firm, they had a sufficient income to qualify but their credit score was limited.
Solution:
We submitted an application to leading bank offering low rates and more lenient credit searching systems.
Once the lender was able to understand the reason why the applicants had a limited score and assess their income, they were happy to provide a mortgage.
