Local Notes

Woking’s commuter economy supports diverse uses; lenders scrutinise lease terms on investment stock and cost efficiency on owner-occupied acquisitions. Clear evidence of demand and achievable rents strengthens valuation cases.

FAQs About HMO Mortgages

1. Can I refinance to release capital?

Often yes, subject to DSCR, valuation and use of funds.

2. Are fixed and variable rates available?

Yes — terms vary by lender, sector and risk profile.

3. Will personal guarantees be required?

Common for SME borrowing; extent depends on leverage and covenant strength.

4. Can a start-up obtain finance?

Possible with strong plans, assets and/or additional security — pricing may be higher.

Our Customers Love Us

Juan-Ricardo

As someone self-employed with slightly ‘sticky’ credit, most banks turned me away. This team was a godsend; they persevered and got my mortgage sorted, even saving me some of my deposit money.

Thank you for your assistance, advice, and perseverance in getting my mortgage sorted. You guys made it happen when others wouldn’t. See you in two years for the remortgage!

10 Step Guide for HMO in Uk

1. Master Your Budget

Before looking at houses, look at your bank account. You’ll typically need a 5% to 10% deposit. Beyond the deposit, remember to budget for “hidden” costs like solicitor fees, surveys, and moving costs.

2. Check Your Credit Health

Lenders want to see that you’re a reliable borrower. Use apps like Experian or Equifax to check your score. Pro tip: Ensure you are on the electoral roll and avoid taking out new credit cards or loans 6 months before your application.

3. Get an Agreement in Principle (AIP)

This is your “golden ticket.” An AIP from NexGen Finance tells estate agents and sellers that a lender has pre-approved you for a certain amount. It makes your offers much more serious.

4. Explore Government Schemes

Don’t miss out on help! We can guide you through the Lifetime ISA (LISA) bonus, Shared Ownership, or the First Homes scheme to see if you can get on the ladder sooner with a smaller deposit.

5. The Property Search

Now for the fun part! Once you know your budget, start viewing properties. Look beyond the décor—check for signs of damp, the age of the boiler, and the “vibe” of the local neighbourhood at different times of the day.

6. Make an Offer

Found “the one”? It’s time to negotiate. We suggest starting slightly below the asking price. Mention that you are a HMO with no chain and an AIP—this makes you a very attractive buyer.

7. Instruct a Solicitor

You’ll need a legal expert (a conveyancer) to handle the paperwork, local searches, and the transfer of funds. We can recommend trusted professionals to ensure your legal journey is as smooth as your mortgage one.

8. Formally Apply for Your Mortgage

Once your offer is accepted, NexGen Finance will submit your full application. The lender will then perform a valuation to ensure the property is worth the price you’re paying.

9. Survey and Searches

While the lender checks the value, you should check the condition. A HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey will flag any structural issues. Your solicitor will simultaneously run searches to check for things like local planning permissions.

10. Exchange and Complete

Once the legal work is done and your mortgage offer is formalised, you’ll Exchange Contracts. At this point, the deal is legally binding. Shortly after comes Completion Day—the keys are yours!
