Vendor hasn’t owned the property for a certain minimum period

This could be one of the unfortunate situations you can come across when buying a property because many lenders do not lend on a property if vender (person selling a property) does not own the property for a certain period for example six months.

It will be worth asking your estate agent once you’re offer is accepted that how long the vendor owned this property. In case vendor is selling the property that is owned by him/her for less than 12 months, you must inform your mortgage adviser so he/she can check with the mortgage lender.

House split into 2 flats

Getting a mortgage on a house, which converted into two flats is not easy because most lenders tend to stay away in this sort of situation.

There could be different scenarios such as:

1. House split into 2 flats and you need a mortgage on the whole property.
2. House split into 2 flats where the leaseholder/freeholder are the same.
3. House split into 2 flats but no separate leases currently exist, but will exist by completion.
4. House split into 2 flats – one flat has a lease with owner/occupier in residence, but the other is rented out but has no lease and freeholder wants to remortgage this flat, but no lease will exist moving forward, and it therefore looks like a freehold flat.

If you need help in these scenarios we can help, please feel free to call us on 02080909386 to discuss your personal situation or send us the email using the comment box below.

Can I get a mortgage if I don’t have an idefinite leave to remain in the UK?

I’ve a CCJ can I get a mortgage?

Many people think that they can’t get a mortgage if they have a CCJ. In reality it depends on the number of CCJ’s, amount, date registered and satisfied or not. For example, there is a lender who ignore a CCJ if registered more than 24 months ago and another lender who accepts 1 CCJ registered within 24 months ago based on the CCJ amount.

In short if you’ve a CCJ or default it’s worth speaking to a mortgage adviser to find out your options. You can do so by calling us on 02080909386 or by sending us email.
