Mortgages for HMO Property Where the Applicant does not own a Buy To Let and is not a Homeowner (First Time Buyer)
First time buyers are applicants who are not owner/occupiers and do not own any existing investment BTL or HMO properties. Most HMO lenders will only lend to applicants who own at least 1x UK property.
However, we can accommodate first time buyers looking for an HMO mortgage, subject to a) their financial status being in keeping with the property being purchased, and b) the size of mortgage being applied for. Generally speaking we will require an income/expenditure statement and an assets/liability statement to show the applicant’s suitability

Preferred applicants should have minimal current credit commitments.
