Precise Mortgages
Introduction
As one of the UK’s leading specialist lenders and part of the OSB Group, Precise Mortgages delivers innovative buy to let and residential mortgage solutions, as well as bridging finance, all which are available solely through a nationwide intermediary base.
We’ve been helping customers underserved by high street lenders or those with a less-than-perfect credit profile since launching in 2010. We aim to broaden the criteria for mortgage approvals to support buy to let entrepreneurialism and home-owning aspirations. Our range of products is designed to help your customers get the mortgage or loan they need as quickly and as easily as possible.
With technology-driven underwriting and credit risk management processes, we could be more expansive than high street lenders in our mortgage and loan approvals.
Products and criteria;
Our wide range of products enables us to provide solutions to a variety of case types. Whether it’s straightforward buy to let, residential customers with adverse credit, the flexibility of a bridging loan or the combination of short-term finance with the security of a long-term exit using refurbishment buy to let, here’s how we could help:
Buy to let mortgages
- Different ownership structures – Options for personal ownership, limited company, portfolio, HMO and limited company HMO landlords, including first-time landlords.
- Top slicing – Available across our entire buy to let range for new purchases, top slicing allows customers to use their surplus portfolio income, earned disposable income, or a combination of the two to demonstrate they can meet financial stresses on their application, rather than using the rental income alone.
- Portfolio landlords – Landlords can have up to 20 buy to let mortgages to a combined value of £10 million with us, and we don’t set a limit on the number or value held with other lenders.
- Affordability – We assess affordability at pay rate on all of our five year fixed rate products to help maximise the loan size available.
Residential mortgages
- Range of solutions – If your customer is planning to purchase or remortgage, is self-employed, a first-time buyer or looking to buy a new build property, our residential mortgage range could be right up their street, even if they have a less-than-perfect credit history.
- Adverse credit – We accept a wide range of adverse credit which means you could help even more customers with CCJs, defaults, DMPs, missed mortgage payments and secured/unsecured loan arrears.
- Cascade system – Our system automatically filters cases through our tiers to show you the products available to your customers, based on the information you’ve provided us with about their individual credit profiles.
- Employment types – We accept customers with complex employment incomes, such as self-employed workers with only one year’s tax calculation and HMRC Tax Year Overview or accounts.
Bridging finance
- Choice of products – Whether your customer wants to use their residential property as security to raise funds, or is an experienced landlord who wants to extend or improve their portfolio, our regulated and non-regulated products offer them the choice they need.
- Automated valuation models (AVMs) – With speed so often of the essence with bridging finance, our AVMs ensure your case is processed as quickly as possible.
- Choice of legal representation – We offer joint or separate legal representation in England and Wales to help your customers keep their costs under control.
- Two-tier refurbishment offering – Whether your customer needs to finance light refurbishment works, or a more complex project which alters the external footprint or outline of a property or requires planning permission, our two-tier proposition could be the ideal solution.
Refurbishment buy to let
Refurbishment buy to let combines the flexibility of short-term finance with the security of a long-term exit.
Choose from three exits depending on the type of refurbishment work being carried out:
– Standard refurbishment – works to make a property habitable.
– Energy efficiency refurbishment – works which include some element of energy efficiency.
– EPC C+ refurbishment – work on a property already rated EPC C or above, of if awarded a C rating following improvement works.
When you take out refurbishment buy to let you benefit from one expert underwriter every step of the way; one application which we’ll key for you; one valuer for both the bridging finance and buy to let exit; one conveyancer with discounted legal fees; two procuration fee payments; and two offers issued simultaneously.
Choose between serviced or retained interest payments during the refurbishment stage..
