Discover how a savvy investor successfully secured a bridging loan against a unique new build in Chichester, overcoming challenges and seizing a lucrative investment opportunity.
Our client recently acquired a 5-bedroom detached new build in Chichester valued at £630k. Having purchased it outright with available cash reserves from a separation, she identified a promising investment property but lacked the funds to make the purchase or cover the deposit for a buy-to-let mortgage. Attempting to refinance her new build property to free up cash for the investment property, she faced a setback when her mortgage application was rejected.
What set this case apart was that the new build she owned was serving as the sales office for the development company, a common practice in new build projects. Our client was leasing the property back to the developers until it was ready for her to move in, making it ineligible for a residential mortgage and technically classified as a commercial entity without new build warranty signoffs.
Bridging Loans Direct stepped in to provide a tailored solution: a £160k bridging loan secured against the client's new build property. This comprehensive loan covered the cost of the investment property and additional funds for planned refurbishments.
The flexibility of speed of fast bridging loans, compared to standard mortgages, allowed us to negotiate with the lender despite the commercial aspect and lack of new build warranty. The bridging loan would be repaid once the mortgage on the new build property could proceed.
