Challenge
After the first COVID-19 lockdown, our client—an AWS Solutions Architect and parent of two young children—learned she would likely be working remotely long-term. Working from home with young kids was challenging, so she wanted to convert her garage into a dedicated home office.
She needed an extra £80,000, but faced early repayment charges on her current mortgage, which was due for renewal in a year. Plus, her existing lender wasn’t willing to increase her borrowing.
Results
We explored alternative options and arranged a second charge mortgage through one of our trusted partners.
The application process was smooth and straightforward. Within days of receiving her formal offer, the funds were released. This enabled her to create the perfect workspace without disrupting her current mortgage.
