We recently assisted a 27‑year‑old client, introduced to us through Network AR, who was looking to purchase a six‑property portfolio from their parents. The parents were keen to step back from active property management, and the client wanted to take the portfolio forward as part of their long‑term investment strategy.

Key Challenges

  • First‑time buyer and first‑time landlord
  • Navigating the complexities of transferring a multi‑property portfolio
  • Ensuring the structure was efficient for both parties, particularly around gifted equity

Our Solution

We secured a series of Buy‑to‑Let mortgages at 75% LTV, significantly reducing the level of gifted equity required from the parents while ensuring affordability and long‑term viability for the client.

Outcome

  • Total loan size achieved: £791,250
  • Smooth transition of ownership
  • Parents released from day‑to‑day management
  • Client established with a strong foundation for building a long‑term portfolio
