Purchasing unmodernised or run-down property in need of work, renovation or refurbishment? We have a
mortgage for you.

Properties in need of renovation come onto the market for various reasons, repossessions, out of probate,
neglected rental property, distress sales or even situations where the vendor may be keen just to sell rather than update the
property themselves.
Unmodernised houses and flats requiring varying levels of refurbishment and modernisation are prime for property renovators
to create a desirable home and potentially highly profitable return on investment. Allthough finding such properties in the first
instance may take time there are property agents particually in Greater London who specialise in unmodernised property sales to make
finding property easier.
Our new renovation and property make-over mortgage is perfect for buying an investment property for renovation to
sell on for profit or keep as a BTL for rental income.
If you purchase a property cash, remember that money will be tied up for a minimum of 6 months as mortgage lenders
wont offer you a remortgage until a duration of six months has past since the initial date of purchase. Whereas in the past property
buyers could buy with bridging and exit to a remortgage within a few weeks.
We can help you get a mortgage on even neglected houses where BTL lenders refuse to lend. All lenders now operate this six
month rule, so it is vital to get a mortgage arranged in the first instance.
If you are purchasing from auction we can still arrange the mortgage usually within the 28days, without needing bridging
finance! Call us

Buy run-down and neglected property to renovate for profit with our renovators mortgage. The only BTL
investors mortgage where the condition of the property is not so much of a concern to the lender as long as it has a working
kitchen and bathroom making the property habitable. You can then purchase the property and renovate to a standard to rent out or
to sale without needing specialist bridging or development finance
This mortgage is unique, it allows you to purchase a residential property in need of renovation, modernisation, interior
remodeling & makeovers. The property it self may not be suitable for renting in its current condition and as such would
be declined to lend on by other BTL lenders.
The property must be in a habitable condition with a working kitchen and working bathroom & WC. The property must also be
structurally sound free from ongoing structural movement and other simular building defects. The mortgage requires no rent
asessment, therefore enabling you to purchase properties you were previously unable to buy due to non-lettable &
run-down condition or that the rental value in its current un-modernised state would be too low to cover the mortgage
payments.
Most properties property investors buy simply require a new kitchen, new bathroom, and a re-decoration through out before the
property is re-presented to the market and sold at a good profit. Investors may take advantage of "buy now pay later" free interest
deals from popular diy stores such as B & Q to purchase a new kitchen or bathroom suite and defer
payment for 6 to 12 months giving time for the property to be done up and sold.
Other run down properties for renovation may only require the most basic of kitchen and bathroom installs, a quick magnolia
decoration, and good garden & yard clean up powerwash may be all that is demanded to get top money for the property once back on
the market in a few short months.
Buying at the right price a property for renovation can be a very good investment as tens of thousands can be
added to the value of the property from a simple and well planned make-over presenting the property to target prospective buyers desires.
Some investors even rent stylish furniture to create a stunning and lavish impression on buyers, and even estate agents valuing the
property! If you purchase new furniture it is also wise to buy stylish yet simple peices that you can use in your next renovation
project. Be sure also not to over crowd a room with oversized furniture as it will end up dominating the room making it seem
cramped or too small for prospective buyers to imagine their own lifestyle fitting in. Decorative touches can then be added with
modern lighting, quality mirrors, throws and couch cushions to create stunning looks for not too much
money.
Depending on the scope of the property and market price ceiling in that area, it may be more profitable to extend the
property converting an old attic room to another bedroom or study, or rebuilding an attached outbuilding to create even larger living
space. Add a modern design open plan kitchen diner to appeal to more buyers.
Other popular renovations include upgrading of central heating systems, double glazing windows, patio or sliding glass
doors. The exterior presentation of the property is also important, a new coat of paint and cleaning brickwork can make a huge
difference to the property.
Untidy and stale looking back yards can detract from the properties value and saleability. Yards and small gardens
need not put off buyers as they can be easily transformed with sections of decking, decorative stones, potted ferns and palms, and
some stylish outdoor furniture. Create another living space outdoors as somewhere the prospective buyer can easily imagine
themselves enjoying al-fresco style summer dining with family and friends.

Larger gardens can be tidied up to look far more inviting with unsightly areas of the
garden obscured from immediate view behind willow or brush screen panels. Decking walk ways to inter-connecting larger
decked areas, paved surfaces, and lawn areas will add intregue and a new perspective to a boring large flat lawn. Existing
decking, masonary, stone work, and mouldy areas can be quickly restored to look new with a rented pressure
washer.
