About the Deal

We were approached by a client with the opportunity to purchase an HMO at Below Market Value (BMV). This property was to be added to their existing Buy-To-Let portfolio, but the purchase needed to be completed quickly.

The Challenge

Unfortunately, even with the property being sold at BMV, the client did not have the necessary funds to make up the shortfall on a purchase bridge. We determined that the best solution to raising these funds would be to utilise three other properties in the client’s portfolio.

The Results

By completing second charges on two properties and remortgaging a previous bridge onto term debt, we raised enough funds for 100% of the purchase. The client was able to acquire a property which they otherwise couldn’t have, without any cash input.

We also assisted with the subsequent refinancing of the first and second charge bridges onto term mortgages. By working with three different lenders across a total of four properties, the client now has a new income-generating property, a portfolio which is stronger than ever, and no longer has any outstanding bridging or short-term finance on any of their properties.
