  • How quickly can I get my money?
    Depending on your circumstances we can turnaround re-mortgage applications as quickly as 10 days. For loans our target is 18 days. In order for us to process your application as quickly as possible please ensure you read all documentation sent to you carefully and ensure that once you are happy you sign in ALL places indicated. Alternatively, you can request one of our document collection representatives to come out. This generally speeds up the application process and ensures all the paperwork is delivered to our office safely.
  • What if I have no accounts/proof of income?
    Will have a number of lenders who will base lending requirements on affordability calculations.
  • How much can I borrow?
    This will obviously depend upon your available income and the amount of collateral available within your property. Subject to these factors we can arrange finance from £50,000 to £5million.
  • I want to buy at auction. What’s the best funding vehicle?
    More and more, we are recommending bridging finance for fast track purchases. With a legal requirement to complete swiftly, bridging finance avoids the delay and commercial scrutiny associated with banks. Most of our bridging transactions are completed successfully in a matter of days. Once the purchase is secure, we then help clients select a more competitive remortgage deal.
  • What can I use my finance for?
    The money can be used for any legal business purpose - for instance:

    Commercial Property purchase
    Development or expansion
    Restructuring
    Investment/Buy to let
  • Can I cover repayments if I’m unable to work?
    Yes, for peace-of-mind we offer an optional accident, sickness and redundancy policy, which will make the repayments for you should you, be off work (subject to certain exclusions and terms).
  • Can I repay a loan or mortgage early?
    You can repay a loan early. I you do, you will benefit from a rebate of interest. This means you will not have to pay all the interest that would have been due if the loan was to run for the full term, so ultimately the total cost of your loan will be less. In the case of a mortgage or remortgage, early repayment may incur early repayment charges, depending on the terms of your mortgage agreement. Your advisor will explain these at the outset.
  • Can I borrow more in the future?
    Simply telephone our office and we’ll be happy to supply you with a quotation for a further advance.
  • Will a rep visit?
    NO. ALL our loans are arranged speedily through the post unless you specifically request otherwise. The process is simple enough; we have no desire to complicate it by using reps.
