Portfolio landlords remortgage flat within 6 months of purchase

Written by Agata Lovelock (nee Rogozinska)

The clients: A married couple who are professional landlords with a portfolio of five properties consisting of flats and terraced houses all owned within their SPV Ltd company.

The property: A 3-bed flat in a 7-storey block of 38 units in a popular residential area with an abundance of shops, services and parks.

The finance: The clients purchased the flat at auction after spotting it as a great investment in an increasingly desirable location. Having used up all their available cash, they wanted to remortgage the flat to put towards further investments.

However, contacting a few banks directly they discovered that many lenders will not allow refinancing until a property has been owned for at least six months, so they approached us for help. Quite a few lenders will not accept high-rise buildings either!

The application process: We sourced a number of suitable options and our clients chose a 5-year deal. We then worked with them to create a comprehensive spreadsheet of their portfolio to support their application. (This is a free service which we offer to all landlords).

Ten days after submitting the application, our clients received a formal offer. We are now working to ensure it is processed as quickly as possible and are looking forward to helping the couple finance their next investment.
