Let s hear it from YOU At last, a lender as refreshing as their name! Well done Mint and keep up the good work! Since being introduced to Mint we have at last found a Bridger with a modern approach combined with an old school attitude towards courteous client services. With everything that s going on at the moment, it was great to have a voice of reason to speak to. Mint Bridging provided me with sound, intelligent advice, and an efficient professional service. From someone who has ran a Bridging Company and is now working on the other side as a Broker it is refreshing to have found a lender who delivers what they promise. Quick decision making is key in bridging. The fact that the business development managers are empowered to both make the decisions and be involved in the whole process was very refreshing. Just a quick note to pass on our gratitude for the way you have helped over the past 12 months. The raison d etre was truly tested when Mint Bridging were approached with the re-finance of my property. They were true to their word and they delivered the funds to a very tight deadline. Short term finance tends to always be based upon pressured timelines. So it s great to have the backing of people who understand these demands and who will work outside normal working hours to ensure completion dates are met. It s the perfect partnership. clients, Thanks again and I can honestly say, you continue to be our first point of call with any new enquires we have. We are delighted with the service we get from the Mint team and have no hesitation in recommending you to all our contacts and introducers. Mint have a flexible approach to LTV s, rates and terms and a take a common sense view on every deal. Their experienced underwriters negotiate and discuss cases at times outside the normal 9-5. Mint have provided us with a much needed niche in the market. With in-house solicitors providing the final piece in the jigsaw we would recommend Mint to any of our peers. I recently gave Mint Bridging a sophisticated transaction which I found difficult to place with other lenders. Mint helped me restructure the purchase and went that extra mile to see the whole process through. Very impressed, I will definitely use them again.
Success Stories 100%? - no problem The client secured land with outline planning consent but saw the opportunity to seek a planning gain. We assisted the client in structuring the deal whereby there was an element of deferred consideration based upon receipt of an agreed planning approval. We were able to advance 100% of the initial purchase price against the initial valuation. We committed to providing the deferred consideration on receipt of the improved planning approval, against the increased valuation. Quick bridging saves the day A customer had an unmissable opportunity to buy the last house in a new development at a discounted price but to secure the discount he had to complete within 2 weeks. After contacting a number of high street banks who had agreed to the loan in principle he was unable to find a bank who would lend against the property s full value now it had a discounted price. The 2 week timescale was also a problem. The customer came to us and we not only completed the deal within 4 working days but were able to lend on the full purchase price, not just the discounted purchase price. The customer was then able to arrange a buy-to-let re-mortgage to redeem the bridging loan. VAT Bill - sorted A customer had an outstanding VAT bill and was given one week to pay on a final demand. The customer was in the process of re-mortgaging a portfolio of buy-to-let properties so was unable to release enough equity. The customer didn t want to risk waiting for the re-mortgages to complete so he contacted us - we were able to complete the loan within 48 hours. The customer s re-mortgages completed shortly after and this redeemed the loan. Auction deadlines A customer was successful in purchasing an investment property from auction but had to complete within 28 days. Although the customer s bank agreed the finance in principle they would have struggled to complete the loan within the timescale. Fearing he may lose his deposit, he contacted us and we completed the loan within 5 working days. He was then able to re-mortgage with his bank to redeem the loan.
