The Clients & Goal

  • The primary aim was to secure a residential home for the clients’ elderly relatives to live in.
  • Required an 80% Loan-to-Value mortgage to keep the initial deposit at a manageable £32,500.
  • Sought a competitive 5-year fixed rate to ensure long-term financial stability for the family.

2.

The Challenge

  • A 4-year-old satisfied CCJ caused most mainstream lenders to automatically decline the application.
  • Many banks do not allow high LTV mortgages for “dependent relative” purchases, treating them as complex risks.
  • The estate agent required a formal mortgage offer swiftly to prevent the property from being relisted.

3.

The Solution

  • Our broker identified a specific high street lender with a sympathetic view on historical, satisfied credit issues.
  • Filtered for providers who specifically accommodate “Family Buy” or “Dependent Relative” residential terms.
  • Packaged the case with all necessary CCJ documentation upfront to bypass common administrative delays.

4.

The Outcome

  • Secured full mortgage approval within just 12 working days, satisfying the estate agent’s timeline.
  • Landed a competitive 5-year fixed deal, proving that past credit issues don’t always mean higher costs.
  • Enabled the clients to complete the purchase and provide a secure home for their parents.
