Hey Sam are, I live in Cheshire East. I'e already contacted Peaks& Plains but they looked at me stupid and it's like social housing contracts don't exist. No one can help me or point me in the right direction. I'm looking to get a long term contract (around 5-7 years), covering council tax and bills so all I have to cern myself with is the mortgage payments. But I seem to be hinting a dead end. Is this something only done it certain areas of the UK and can you help with any contacts in this area please?

Get 100% mortgage on a 80 year mortgage. The bank makes their money plus interest and because people can’t pay it off unless they pay the rest in a lump sum eventually the bank basically owns the house again. And the person living in the house basically got a cheap living standard for life.

Thanks Jason! Much appreciated. Are there any other bridging topics you think your group would find useful?

Yes, purchasing a flat or a house and using the potential equity in the flat or house as a deposit. So basically, the purchaser does not have to put the full deposit money down.

Hi Sam, great video. If I purchase a 3bed house and convert to a 5 bedroom HMO with en-suites would it be possible to get a commercial valuation? If not, how is the property valued? bricks and motor as a 3 bedroom house in the area?
@thesamnorris2 ай бұрын
Hey Inglebey. So there are a couple of lenders who can potentially look at this on a commercial valuation. Is it all en-suite? Is this a property you own?
@adamengledow93492 ай бұрын
Thanks for the reply. Not yet, I am looking at some properties for conversion. If it can’t be valued as a commercial how would the bricks and mortar be valued? A renovated 3 bedroom?
@adrenalineisbrown2 ай бұрын
Great video, Sam. A few questions. 1) on auction legal pack already has all the searches available. If you are buying this property, do you still need to get the searches done again? 2) if you are financing the renovation with your own funds, the bridging lenders still need to see exact quotes from buolders on everything you are planning to do, even on a simple renovation? What did they need? Just an estimate
@thesamnorris2 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the comment and the questions. 1. If searches have been done (and to an acceptable standard as I have seen a couple of instances where this isn’t the case) then they can be used, yes. We would still generally instruct legals as early as possible on an auction purchase just to avoid any doubts about hitting the deadline anyway. We usually aim for 15 days to try and ensure we have a buffer for any issues arising. 2. The only time I’ve seen a lender need to see a quote was when we were appealing a valuers comments about the works. Generally we need a schedule of works (we send a template out to all our clients) and proof that the funds are available. I hope that answers your questions but please do let me know if you have any more

Hi! Thanks for the comment and thanks for subscribing!! So you can rent out your home with a consent to let. You’d then need to get the new tenants (social housing provider) in and then we can look at remortgaging.

Had a terrible time with Optima Legal during Remortgaging. Watch out for Shortfall fees. And the lenders charge you about £30 a day interest from the time of completion. You switch to a new deal to save 3k over 2 years for example and end up paying about 3k in legal fees and mortgage payments from your previous and new lender. Martin Lewis makes it seems so easy buts it’s really not. Next time ill pay for a conveyancer who knows what they are doing

Thanks so much for your comment Stefan. These are residential mortgages, not for investment, which is what BRR is. If of course you have the for sight to buy a home for yourself and do something like renovate, do a loft extension or maybe even an extension, of course, you’re creating value and equity, however, the reality is that this won’t be the case for the overwhelming majority unfortunately in this instance.

Hi, and thanks for the comment. The answer is no I’m afraid. You cannot get an HMO mortgage until the property is a registered, licensed and classified HMO. Cash, bridging, development finance, investor finance or a combination of the above is used to make the acquisition and then we can refinance onto the HMO mortgage once the conversion is complete.

@thesamnorris8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. Glad the video was useful. If you are looking to change the way you’re looking to rent your property, then you’ll need to notify your mortgage lender. They may allow you to do so for the time being then you’d need to remortgage at the end of your fixed term, or they may not allow you, which would mean you’d either need to wait til your fixed rate finished, or remortgage to a lender who will allow you to lease your property to a social housing provider. Hope that helps
