how can a short-term refurbishment loan help?

With mainstream lenders implementing tougher restrictions, it has been harder for landlords and property investors to get a buy-to-let mortgage, faced with more hoops to jump through in a time-consuming process. This can hinder those requiring fast access to funds.

What’s more, for those looking to buy investment properties in need of major refurbishment the difficulty in accessing mortgages from high-street banks has intensified, as banks are less likely to lend on uninhabitable properties.

A short-term loan gives investors the freedom to enhance the value of their properties, providing a solution when high-street banks are unable to lend the amounts required in the necessary time-frame.
