Having been within the same
family ownership for more than 30 years, the five-bedroom detached house has
recently undergone a high-quality refurbishment and extension to include a
tennis court, swimming pool, gym, studio and parking for 10 cars, all integrating
the latest cutting-edge technologies.
The funds will be used to
redeem the existing charge and give the borrower, an established property
professional, time to secure a tenancy and stabilise rental income. The client
intends to retain the property as a long-term investment alongside their
existing portfolio.
The bridge was finalised on a
flat rate of 0.74% per month for an initial nine-month term. Thereafter the
borrower has the option to transition, under the same facility documentation,
onto a serviced buy to let period at 6.94% per annum for a further three years.
The product provides a clear
pathway to long-term finance at a time to suit the owner.
In line with the lender’s
one-person per-case Customer Service Commitment the application was taken from
start-to-finish by Daniel Tame, Underwriter.
Daniel said: "Our Bridge
To Let product delivers a clear and practical route between short-term and
long-term finance. The ability to provide a rapid bridge, together with clearly
defined exit options, gives the client the flexibility and certainty required
to complete the next stage of their investment strategy."
