FAQ's: Questions and Answers about this mortgage
 Q&A Benefits over Bridging Finance...
Q: I often use bridging finance for purchasing renovation project property, and then remortgage once the work has been completed. What
advantages would this mortgage have over bridging in this situation?
A: With bridging finance on a property needing renovations or improvements lending is typically limited to 65% to 70% of the market value
therefore a greater sum is required for the deposit. Furthermore the interest charged on bridging would work out significantly more
expensive. Another important consideration is that in today's 'credit crunch' market BTL lenders such as mortgage express have changed
certain lending policies; they no longer allow capital raising remortgages inside of 6 months from the date of purchase. This means that the
back to back 'no money down' bridge and refinance deals on BMV properties are not possible. Also with bridge and remortgage transactions
you would have two sets of legal costs to pay as well as additional arrangement fees for the remortgage.
Q&A Buying undermarket value...
Q: I want to buy a property that is in need of total refurbishment the property is hence under valued and will be worth considerably more
once we have finished. Can I borrow a sum to cover the cost of the refurbishment works before the work has started or completed?
A: Yes it should be possible to borrow extra to cover the cost of your development or refurbishment works. Using the next day
refinance draw down, additional money required to carry out the refurbishments could be added to the mortgage.
Q&A Buying from auction...
Q: The property I am buying from a property auction is below market value only and does not actually require any work to be carried
out on the property, but as it is would be worth much more on the open market going by similar properties in the are. Can I use this
mortgage to purchase and then immediately refinance to get back my deposit, while I market the property to sell on?
A: Yes, providing the open market value of the property valued up then you would be able to take advantage of the draw down if needed,
refinancing to 85% of the open market value. The early redemption penalty on the mortgage is just 1.00% that makes this ideal for this
type of transaction.
Q&A No previous property development history...
Q: What type of information is required for obtaining the mortgage on a property to refurbish? I have some other BTL's but this would be
my first renovation project so does the lender require previous property development history?
A: No, the lender would not need extensive background in property development to qualify for this mortgage, you would however need to
supply a detailed list and costing on the proposed work you intend to carry on on the property along with any estimates from your chosen
builder to carry out the work.
Q&A Converting properties...
Q: I would like to buy a former hotel to convert into 5 residential flats, would this mortgage be suitable ?
A: Unfortunately this mortgage is for single residential dwellings only. Because the property you are buying is commercial, coupled with
converting it to 5 flats, this mortgage would not be suitable. You would need property development finance to fund the purchase and fund the
development costs. alternatively a bridging loan could be used to fund the purchase.
Q&A How many properties...
Q: How many properties can I buy with this mortgage?
A: This is limited to one mortgage facility per applicant at any one time. However once the property is completed and either sold or
refinanced to a BTL product, you may take out another light development mortgage for another property.
Q&A Demolish to rebuild...
Q: I want to buy a property with a view to demolish and rebuild as two houses. Could I use this mortgage to buy this property although I
don't have planning consent yet?
A: Yes, that could be possible. Purchase the property as cheap as possible with this mortgage without any planning as a planning gain
would drive the price up. Once you own the property you can make you planning application. Once planning has been approved you could
refinance to borrow development costs based on the GDV.
Q&A Light Refurbishment vs Self Build Mortgage
Q: What is the difference between this mortgage and a self build type mortgage?
A: The Self Build type mortgages require full planning approval upon application. The refurbishment mortgage does not require any planning
permission for the works you intend to carry out, also does not require architects drawing or ground reports.
