Bespoke Residential Interest Only case studies
- Applicant one was an employed software engineer for seven years and applicant two was an employed director. They had a combined income of c£286,000. The applicants had used unsecured credit whilst undertaking home improvements and wanted to clear this as part of the remortgage.
- The applicants wanted a part repayment and part interest only mortgage. We agreed to lend 60% LTV on the Interest Only part and the remainder on capital and interest up until applicant two's 75th birthday.
- The applicant had been employed as a Research Director for three years earning £166,000 and wanted to do a like for like remortgage.
- As the applicant’s occupation meant it was plausible to work until age 75, and they were going to downsize in five years’ time we agreed to stress affordability on Interest Only and lend to age 75.
