  • Flexible payment options
  • Reduced title insurance fee
  • No minimum term on initial purchase bridge (if flip loan is taken)
  • Existing identification utilised, if within six months of initial loan term

  • Quicker underwrite process
  • Legal costs included

Kim Parker (pictured), head of sales at Hope Capital, said: “Our latest loan flips everything brokers and borrowers know about our offering on its head. Firstly, not only can we now provide a significantly longer loan term, but it removes the requirement of having to pay certain fees again.

“This not only provides a greater level of affordability to the borrower, but it also means they have more time and flexibility to capitalise from their loan.

“Secondly, by flipping onto a new loan with us, our clients won’t need to restart a new application from scratch, resulting in them experiencing a much more streamlined and significantly quicker experience compared to moving to another lender.

“We foresee there being a huge demand for this product and we’re looking forward to offering this to both our existing clients, as well as borrowers who are looking to access an initial loan, with plans to then undertake refurbishment works in the future.”
