Shawbrook assisted professional property investor by orchestrating the refinance of their extensive portfolio comprising of 11 single dwelling houses.
The refinance included a capital raise of £150,000, allowing the professional landlord to redeem an existing variable rate facility before transitioning to a five-year fixed term buy-to-let mortgage with Shawbrook at 75% LTV. By switching from a variable to fixed rate also meant that the client saved money on their monthly repayments.
Shawbrook were able to deliver the funding at speed as the broker submitted the application via MyShawbrook. An instant Indicative Mortgage Offer (IMO) with an AVM was issued on 8 June, followed by the Full Mortgage Offer (FMO) supplied on 16 June. This technology-driven approach has proven pivotal in achieving swift and informed decisions, which resulted in the case completing and the funds being released on 30 June.
The capital raise was to renovate some of the properties within the portfolio with energy efficiency upgrades. The portfolio landlord was able to access a partial discount on his arrangement fee for over a third of his properties as part of the specialist lender’s Buy-to-Let Energy Efficiency Discount, saving nearly £650. The discount applies to all properties with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of ‘C’ or above, and therefore rewarded this landlord for his energy efficiency upgrades.
This case demonstrates Shawbrook’s adeptness in supporting professional landlords to manage their portfolios. They understood the unique needs of this landlord and delivered a funding solution underpinned by efficiency and innovation.
