The product has a maximum LTV of 75% during refurb period, with both light and medium options, and rates from 0.65% per month during the refurb.
The interest can be rolled up for 6 months if required and it reverts to a standard BTL product up to 85% after the work is completed.
Colin Bell, CEO of InterBay Commercial commented:
“Following a successful trial of a product which the market was demonstrating clear demand for, InterBay is excited to add a term refurb mortgage to its popular product range. It was clear in our conversations with Key Partners that there is demand for a term refurb mortgage product that allows a refurb period to allow the borrower to enhance the value and earnings potential of real estate with a view to holding.”
“Whilst there is plenty of supply of bridging finance in the market some borrowers are looking for a long term product with a period during which the property will be vacant to allow them to undertake refurb. Having in house surveyors who complement the external valuations that we always undertake allows us to expertly assess and underwrite such mortgages.”
“This sector of the market is one that is growing in demand and with term facility given up front this gives borrowers the confidence that they have a long term mortgage. Also being able to roll up the interest for up to six months will also allow them to focus their funds on the refurb to ensure it is undertaken professionally.”
