As 1.11. Purchase transactions where the property has been sold within the last 6 months are not normally acceptable, unless the property is being purchased from a housebuilder / developer who acquired the property in a part exchange transaction. Remortgages (where the customer is already the registered proprietor of the property whether subject to an existing mortgage or not) within the first 6 months of the original purchase date are acceptable in the following circumstances; • you are able to provide evidence that the customer inherited the property following the death of the previous owner • the remortgage is to replace bridging finance taken out more than 1 month ago. • the remortgage was bought via cash via an ‘arm’s length transaction, eg. at auction via estate agent, more than 1 month ago. and the property purchased was a single-unit sale and not part of a portfolio of properties purchased together. For all other applications, the property must have been owned for at least 6 months. In all cases, the maximum loan can be based on the market value of the property. In all cases, ownership in the applicant’s name at Land Registry must be evidenced prior to completion. The remortgage cannot be completed less than 1 month from purchase of the property. If you establish that the property has been owned for less than 6 months, in the first instance, you should refer the case back to Aldermore for guidance.” Sub-sales, where the seller has owned the property for less than 6 months, and back to back transactions are not acceptable. Applications which involve assignable contracts or irrevocable powers of attorney in favour of intervening sellers are not acceptable. You should also report any other structure to the transaction which has a similar effect. If you consider that there are reasons for the use of any of the above arrangements which mean the case is acceptable, you should report the details. We will then consider whether or not it is acceptable. |

Mortgage Processing (see 1.11a). For remortgage applications (where the customer is already the registered proprietor of the property whether subject to an existing mortgage or not), the customer must have owned the property for at least six months. Where you have obtained evidence that the customer inherited the property following the death of the previous owner and provided you confirm this to us in writing, the preceding sentence will not apply. "Sub-sales, where the seller has owned the property for less than 6 months, and back to back transactions are not acceptable. We also regard as sub-sales cases where the seller acquires the freehold (or superior leasehold) title to the property, which they then immediately sell on to the borrower by the grant to them of a lease (or sub-lease). Applications which involve assignable contracts or irrevocable powers of attorney in favour of intervening sellers are not acceptable. You should also report any other structure to the transaction which has a similar effect. If you consider that there are reasons for the use of any of the above arrangements which mean the case is acceptable, you should report the details. We will then consider whether or not it is acceptable." |
