Case Study
The Clients’: Married homeowners looking to purchase their ideal family home in Bolton
The Property: The couple wanted to purchase a four-bedroomed detached home in the North West of England which was better suited to their growing family.
The Finance: The clients’ needed a 75% Loan To Value as they had a 25% deposited available from the equity from their previous property. (Loan-to-value (LTV) is the ratio of mortgage value to property value, expresses as a percentage. For example, if you are buying a £100,00 property with a £10,000 (10%) deposit, then you need a 90% LTV mortgage.)
The Challenge: The house in question had a lot of interest from other prospective buyers, so our clients’ were keen to get a mortgage offer as quickly as possible to improve their chance of securing their ideal family home.
They were looking to borrow at a 5x income multiple, which was more challenging to find than usual in the reduced lender market we faced at the beginning of lockdown. Unfortunately, due to the Corona Pandemic the clients’ incomes had stopped as they were both self-employed as Physio Therapists. Furthermore, the restrictions meant that a physical valuation of the property was no longer possible, meaning we would have to try and find a lender who would complete a desktop valuation for a purchase at 75% Loan To Value. Again, as many lenders had reduced criteria at the beginning of lockdown, this was going to be more challenging than usual to solve.
The Solution: The first thing we did was review lenders criteria on both applicants and available income multiples. We then approached a few potentially suitable lenders about their restrictions on desktop valuations and current application processing times. Having sourced an appropriate lender who would be able to complete the remote valuation, the client reviewed their mortgage offer within 10 working days from submission of the mortgage application.
