My daughter , First time buyer won a house at Auction .
We have lent her some the money so requires to eventually get a mortgage to pay us back.
We've read most lenders require you to of owned the property for 6 months plus before they will lend??
Ive read Santander will lend before the 6 months but not confirmed this . Are there any other lenders that will allow you to have a mortgage before 6 months ??
She's only looking to remortgage at the purchase price and with a LTV of around 40-50% .
Are the interest rates much different to normal high street bank mortgage deal ??
thanks

Santander do state in their criteria that they will take a Day 1 re-mortgage (as we Brokers know it).
Other larger Lenders which, in principle, take Day 1 re-mortgages include - Barclays, Coventry BS, Nationwide (there are a number of smaller lenders).
You need to be careful as some Lenders will say they are amenable to Day 1 re-mortgage but they only allow this for inherited property. Others will allow it only if your daughter is resident in the property.
A Lender will often want the property registered in your daughters name with the Land Registry before a re-mortgage and this can prove problematic given the time it is currently taking for many transactions to be logged.
I am not convinced that many Brokers would look at Santander as first choice on an auction property. You may do well to get a Broker involved before the auction.
Rates are unaffected by this scenario.I am a Mortgage Broker

Also this assumes the property is otherwise mortgageable (and the reason it was put into auction isn't because of some underlying problem with title / marketability etc).1
