Specialist Lending
If you’re looking for buy to let, second charge loans, or bridging finance, you’ll have specialist requirements that set you apart from a standard residential purchaser.
Buy to let
Whether you’re an experienced landlord or just starting out, you’ll have specialist requirements that set you apart from a standard residential purchaser.
We can access the major lenders in the buy to let market including those specialising in lending to professional landlords. We’ve also developed relationships with general insurers who’ve designed specialist landlords’ buildings and contents policies.
Please note that some buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Second charge loans
Second charge loans can be secured against residential or buy to let properties. They are provided by specialist lenders and are generally short-term loans secured against the property, but where the lender has second call on the property if the borrower defaults. Second charges tend to be more expensive than ‘firsts’. However, they can still be the best option for people seeking to raise capital – but whose main lender is unwilling to provide further finance, or where expensive early redemption charges would be incurred.
Bridging finance
A bridging loan is taken out to ‘bridge’ the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. Loans are generally short-term and secured on the existing property, but repaid as soon as this is sold.
‘Bridges’ may help you secure your new property, but you should be aware that they can be expensive and if the sale of your existing property falls through, you will be left paying two loans at once. Some bridging loans are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
