Complicated first home purchase smoothed out thanks to solicitor’s knowhow

Purchasing your first home should be enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. However, for one client, this wasn’t the case. Having purchased the house at auction, the client thought she would be able to get a standard mortgage for the property once her offer was accepted.

However, upon the offer being accepted, the broker stated the property was non-mortgageable. At this point, the client turned to Real Estate Solicitor Arran Bhatti for advice guidance and support.

Arran worked alongside his client as she proceeded with a specialist lender, pursuing the property using a bridging loan. This added an additional layer of complexity as all the lender’s requirements had to be complied with, involving pages of enquiries.

To add to the complexity, there was a tight three-week turnaround. However, Arran’s expertise meant that everything was over the line for client. Following this, Arran’s client provided a heartfelt testimonial:

“I recently worked with Arran Bhatti on the purchase of my first home, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. What started as a straightforward mortgage quickly turned into a more complicated process involving a bridging loan, which made things significantly more challenging and time-consuming.

“Throughout it all, Arran’s expertise and professionalism were invaluable. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease, explaining each step of the process clearly and guiding me through the complexities with confidence. His thorough understanding of the situation and commitment to finding solutions were greatly appreciated – even with the difficult company that we had.

Despite the unexpected hurdles, Arran ensured the process was handled efficiently and effectively, resulting in a successful outcome. I’m extremely pleased with the support I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. I had previously used him for a commercial property and will 100% be using him and HCR again in the future! “
