Discount Purchase Properties

There is a growing trend in recent month, in response to a slow housing market, for investors to demand larger discounts on the open market value (OMV). The way it works is buy purchasing the property at a discount and then having a buy to let mortgage on the OMV thus reducing or even eliminating the need for a deposit.
Example
Open market value of property: £100,000
Purchase price: £85,000
Mortgage: 85% of market value: £85,000
However it is not as simple as purchasing at a discount and then taking out a mortgage to finance the project, you need a one day closed bridging loan to facilitate the purchase and then a buy to let re-mortgage to release the value and equity in the property.
I have been carrying out this type of finance for the last 2 months and have seen a sharp rise in demand from investors for this product.
With expectations of the housing market remaining slow in Jan and Feb we should see this type of finance increase dramatically.
If you are interested in learning more about this type of finance then please feel free to give me a call or email me and I can explain how I can help build you a large property portfolio with little if any money down.
