Accordingly, he already had a large portfolio both of developments and of buy to let investment properties \u2013 so he was extremely savvy in this area, and had very specific requirements as a borrower.<\/p>\n<p>He had recently completed a development of a property in London, valued at three quarters of a million pounds. The client had since decided that, rather than selling this property on, he wished to retain it as a buy to let investment. He would therefore need to refinance from development finance on to a buy to let mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>However, this development was owned in an offshore vehicle \u2013 so this client effectively wanted to refinance this property to bring it onshore, which can be a complicated process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; color: #134f5c;\"><strong>The solution:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In difficult cases like this, approaching an appropriate lender is crucial to avoid a rejected mortgage application.
