The Client
The client was a foreign national with UK residency who was purchasing a new build buy-to-let property in Canary Wharf. Completed In: 24 days
The Situation
The client needed a quick completion on a BTL mortgage for a newbuild apartment that he had purchased in Canary Wharf. The sale had been agreed 2 years prior and the deposit had been paid, however the build was now complete and they had to make the final payment on the purchase but due to the COVID environment were struggling to secure a BTL mortgage.
The Solution
The team were able to provide a bridging loan over the purchase with the exit also being provided by West One as a term buy-to-let loan. West One readdressed the original bridging valuation to keep costs down for the client and moved them off the bridge onto a cheaper term debt after just 42 days. From application to completion the bridging loan was secured in a quick 24 day turnaround.
The Benefit
West One are a comprehensive multi-product lender meaning that a client can easily migrate from one product to another and ensure a smooth transition through their property finance journey. Using multiple lenders can be time consuming, expensive and offer varying levels of service, having a single source of funding ensures consistency, speed and a happy client.
The Result
A quick turn around and a very happy client benefiting from the West One integrated product portfolio.
