How it Works

Contact

Contact us on 0330 173 6570 to discuss how we can help with your refurbishment buy to let

Application

Review the refurbishment buy to let products on the next page to select the most suitable product for your customer, then simply complete our application pack. We will contact you within four hours to discuss your application.

Initial Assessment

Our team will key the application, saving you valuable time. We will make an assessment of the case. We will issue a KFI based on your customer’s product selection and let you know of any additional information we may need.

Valuation

Once the customer is happy they can pay the valuation fee, we will collect and instruct the inspection, giving your customer a guaranteed exit providing there are no changes and the property meets the expected post works valuation.

Offers

We will issue two offers; one for Bridging Finance and one for the Buy to Let Mortgage.

Bridge Completes

Funds are released and works on the property can commence.

Re-Inspection

You can contact us when the property is ready to be inspected by the valuer. There will be no additional fee to pay as this is included in the original fees.

Completion

If the valuation is returned as expected and there are no changes the case will complete on the Buy to Let Mortgage and the Bridging Finance will be repaid.
