True Self Cert Mortgages
Case Study - Buying A Property To Renovate And Sell On For A Profit
Problem:
I want to buy my sisters house to renovate and sell on - But I already have a mortgage, I am self employed, I don't have savings as a deposit and I don't want penalties for early repayment when I sell the property?
Client Criteria:
Mr Smith had been self employed for 15 months, 8 months of which as a limited company. He already has a mortgage on a previous property which is occupied by his ex-wife and children.
An opportunity has arisen to buy a property from a family member which he would like to renovate and sell on. As he doesn't have spare savings for a deposit, his sister, the current property owner, will be providing the deposit which will be returned once the property has been renovated and sold.
The property is currently valued at £180,000 and he would like to raise £100,000 to complete the renovation work necessary to achieve a good return on the investment. As the client will want to sell the property on as soon the renovation is complete he wants a mortgage with no early repayment charges.
