We were approached by a client who has been using Mortgages for Business for more than 15 years. In this time he has built up a property portfolio of 10+ rental properties.
The client wanted to turn one of his properties; a six-bed house, into a HMO because the rental income was stronger.
The property value had increased since purchase so we were able to improve the mortgage rate and raise a significant sum of capital for further investment.
We approached a lender that accepts HMOs.
It was able to offer a rate that wouldn't increase his monthly payments greatly.
