Trinity secures American client £500,000+ mortgage to purchase property in Islington
Our recently married American client asked for help to secure a mortgage for him and his English wife to purchase a property in Islington.
He recently moved to the UK and was working for an American company; he was also paid in US dollars and had a limited credit footprint.
His wife was working for a UK based company and she was paid in pound sterling.
Solution
Trinity approached a lender happy to accept applications for clients paid in foreign currencies even if they had a limited credit score.
Taking both salaries into consideration, the lender was happy to provide the mortgage loan and it offered a range of fixed and trackers for £500,000+ loans.
