Commercial Borrowing

This is a way to borrow money as a business owner. You can use the loan to purchase premises, refinance existing debt or improve your business. We have many companies we can engage with once we understand what you want to achieve.

Commercial mortgages are not usually regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Commercial mortgages are arranged by introduction only.

Bridging Loan

This is a short-term loan typically taken out for up to 12 months pending the arrangement of long-term financing. For example, we have helped clients buy auction properties through bridging loans, enabling them to make the purchase, undertake relevant improvements to the home and then apply for a mortgage once the work is completed.

Not all forms of Property Development Finance are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Bridging loans are arranged by introduction only.

Lifetime Mortgage

A lifetime mortgage allows you to borrow money against the value of your home in later life. You won’t need to repay the loan until the last surviving borrower passes away or moves into long-term care.

A lifetime mortgage is a long-term commitment which could accumulate interest and is secured against your home. Equity release is not right for everyone and may reduce the value of your estate. Lifetime mortgages are arranged by introduction only.

Second Charge Borrowing

Second charge borrowing is an additional loan added to your existing mortgage through a different lender. These are sometimes called secured loans. These are used, for example, to release funds for home improvements or to gift to family.

Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it. Secured and unsecured loans are arranged by introduction only. Second charge borrowing is arranged by introduction only.

Questions?

What is a decision in principle?

A decision in principle or mortgage in principle sets out what a lender might lend you; it is not a formal mortgage offer. Use this as a guide to help you search for a house within your budget.

Loan to value or LTV is the size of the mortgage in relation to the property value, usually written as a percentage. For example, if a mortgage is offered at 85% LTV, your deposit needs to be 15% of the property’s value. Often, a low LTV means a lower mortgage interest rate.

Laura is brilliant

Laura is brilliant. This was my first experience arranging buy-to-let mortgages, so I was definitely a beginner and came in with very little knowledge of the process. From initial conversation through to mortgage offers, she made the process really clear and answered all my questions. I definitely recommend her. Thanks Laura!

Thickbroom Mortgages deserve every bit of the full 5 stars. Buying a house is supposed to be one of the most stressful things you'll do, but not in this case. Laura was extremely helpful in sorting me out with a mortgage. Right from the beginning I was thoroughly supported. She was always a step ahead (if not several) and answered every query I had very promptly indeed. It's quite rare to come away knowing you made the absolute right decision in using a company, but I have done, and will be recommending Laura and Thickbroom Mortgages to anyone who is seeking mortgage advice. If your experience is even half as good as mine has been, you'll be very pleased. Thank you again Laura!
