How Willow Private Finance Mortgage Brokerage Helped a UK National Secure a £2m Loan for a French SCI Property
Talk To A Specialist Speak To Us On WhatsAppSecuring a Mortgage for Unique Circumstances: How Willow Private Finance Helped a UK National with a Guernsey-Based Trading Business
When it comes to securing a mortgage, the process can be challenging and overwhelming, especially when there are unique circumstances involved. This was the case for one of Willow Private Finance's clients, a UK national with a Guernsey-based trading business.
This client owned a residential buy-to-let property in London worth approximately £3.5m that was owned by a French SCI (Société Civile Immobilière). The client needed to find a £2m loan to pay off the French bank, but the challenge was finding a lender who was willing to work with them due to the inability to demonstrate regular income and the ultimate beneficial owners of the SCI being over 60 years of age.
Willow Private Finance was able to secure a loan from a Kuwaiti bank to pay off the French bank, obtaining a 5-year fixed rate of 4.99% with borrowing driven by the marketable rent. They were also able to negotiate a bank arrangement fee of 1% that included the valuation and legal fees.
The team at Willow Private Finance understood the unique circumstances of their client and were able to find a solution that met their needs. We have the expertise and resources to work with clients who may have more complex financial situations, finding the right mortgage option to fit their specific requirements.
If you're in need of a mortgage and are feeling uncertain about the process, consider reaching out to the team at Willow Private Finance. We have the experience and knowledge to guide you through the process and find the right mortgage solution for you.
