In the ever-changing landscape of property financing, it can sometimes feel like the sun is setting on your aspirations. Whether you’re looking to purchase your next investment, raise capital or refinance an existing loan, funding hurdles can leave you feeling defeated. However, there’s good news—just like the dawn that follows a long night, support and solutions are available to help you emerge from the darkness.

Understanding Common Financing Issues

Many people need help with securing funding for property. Here are some of the most common hurdles you might encounter:

Withdrawal of Funding: Unexpected changes in lender programs or financial institutions can lead to the withdrawal of previously promised funding or terms. This often leaves prospective developers or landlords in a tough spot, especially if there’s a deadline looming.

Credit Limitations: Your credit score is crucial in determining your financing options. Low credit scores or limited credit history can make it challenging to secure favourable financing terms.

Complex Income Situations: Self-employment, gig economy jobs, or other non-traditional income sources can complicate financing. Lenders may have strict criteria that can be difficult to meet.

Foreign Nationals: Owning property in the UK but living abroad can be tricky, especially if you want additional funding to enhance your investment portfolio or raise funds using it as security. Some financial institutions will not extend credit to people not living in the UK.

Financing complex property matters involving unique properties, such as non-conventional residential construction, commercial buildings, semi-commercial properties, or multiple properties, can present additional challenges.

How to Overcome These Challenges

Despite these obstacles, there are ways to navigate the complexities of property financing:

Seek Professional Guidance: Don’t hesitate to contact brokers, financial advisors or speciality lenders like Inflow who understand the property market. They can provide valuable insights and help you explore alternative financing options.

Consider Alternative Lenders: Traditional banks aren’t the only options. You can also consider credit unions, online lenders, or smaller financial institutions like Inflow, which may have more flexible requirements.

Please ensure you have all the necessary documentation for complex income scenarios. This might include tax returns, bank statements, and letters from clients or employers to validate your income stream.
