Taking advantage of prime property

The low-interest rate environment has made prime property mortgages accessible to a growing number of buyers.

Based on the performance of the PCL real estate market, it seems as though demand for this type of home loan will continue to rise as buyers seek to take advantage of the capital growth and in some cases, the rental yields on offer.

Applying for a £1m-plus mortgage should not be a difficult or complicated process if approached correctly.

In my experience, it all comes down to choosing the right lender and finding the right type of prime property mortgage best suited to the borrower’s needs.

Doing so will reduce the borrower’s chances of rejection.
