Dream home / Bridging loan / Refinance
Dream home / Bridging loan / Refinance
Dream home – found! Current home – not sold!
The challenge
The clock was ticking! An existing client of ours recently found their dream home however was still in the process of selling their current home and didn’t want to miss out, especially with other competing bids.
The solution
• Second charge bridge on current residential.
• First charge bridge on onward residential.
• First charge bridge on an unencumbered buy to let.
• Found a lender who could refinance as soon as the current residential sold (most lenders require ownership of minimum 6 months, meaning potentially unnecessary bridging finance costs).
• Found a lender who could raise more than enough to clear the remaining bridge once the current residential property sold.
