Since the client also had complex income structure, he decided the best course of action was to use a specialist mortgage broker.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The solution:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We regularly deal with clients from the Middle East and can confidently place this sort of case with appropriate lenders.

This was an ideal resolution for the client, who was able to proceed with their purchase.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The case in brief:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Residential purchase in London for Middle Eastern client<\/li>\n<li>Multi-million pound property at 70% LTV<\/li>\n<li>Two-year tracker rate<\/li>\n<li>Specialist private bank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London is a diverse and cosmopolitan city, which attracts investment from all over the world.
