Client Profile

 

First-Time Buyer, Contractor and Adverse Credit 

​

Age: 34 

​

Occupation: Digital Marketing, Contractor 

​

Location: Clapham, London 

​

Financial Situation 

First-Time Buyer, 10% deposit and Adverse Credit. 

​

The Challenge 

The difficulty was finding a lender for this client as they had inadvertently missed several payments on a parking fine a couple of years ago because they worked abroad and had not been notified of the fine.  It was still showing on their credit file, and they had been declined borrowing with 3 lenders before coming to Prestige Private Finance. They were also a Contractor, so finding a solution was limited by their income stream. 

​

Our Solution 

By taking time to understand what the circumstances were, and knowing lenders who are more lenient on adverse credit, we were able to secure them borrowing with a specialist lender who offered favourable rates. We also were able to access preferential rates with this particular lender and pass them on to the client. Moreover, understanding how contractors get paid and the complexities surrounding their income meant that we could go straight to the lenders who accept this type of income. 

​

Results Achieved 

The client received a successful mortgage offer within 8 working days at a rate which was more competitive than what they were quoted with other brokers. The positive relationship we have with this lender and their underwriting team meant that we could gauge the appetite for this case before we even submitted it.   

 

Why Choose Prestige Private Finance?  

We have a deep understanding of what lenders look for and how their criteria differ from case to case. The complexities in this case made it challenging, but with our extensive experience in the mortgage world meant that we were able to advise the client in the best possible way and achieve a successful outcome where other brokers failed.
