Spml

Options
Have a residential mortgage with SPML, I contacted them a while ago toaskif they were doing advances but was told no. Does anyone know if they would allow me to change to BTL with a further advance of £10k. I will call them tomorrow but just wondered if anyone may know from past experience. Property is now worth around £160k and I need £40k in total. thanks

    On that LTV you could move elsewhere if SPML won't oblige.

    hi silvercar i tried with another lender and they surveyed house (see pre post) but declined cos the surveyor said demand and future saleability poor! which apparently is what this surveyor is putting on all his reports.

    Yes - but there are other lenders out there that may be happy with the property - and if you opt for a deal offering a free valuation, then you have nothing to lose trying with another lender

  • Jesmin45,

    If i remember rightly you were going through Platform. Did you have adverse credit? Beacon home Loans do BTL remortgages but only allow defaults and no CCJ's or mortgage arrears in the last 2 years.

    Beacon wont do it if 'demand and saleability are poor' I would'nt have thought.
    Why switch to B2L though, as they are more expensive and harder to obtain.

    i thought that the OP had improved the internals of the property. It had been valued before when it wasn't in good shape. Now that it has been cleaned up , it may be more presentable that was all Conrad.
