HOW IT ALL WORKS
You decide.
You can decide how you pay your interest. You can either pay interest monthly or you can pay at the end of the loan period - or a combination of both. Most Borrowers like to pay all their interest at the end of the loan term.
Yes! If you are, or will be, a property owner.
At Somo we do not have set criteria. We lend 1st, 2nd or 3rd charges on land, commercial, buy-to-lets and Houses in Multiple Occupation. We will also lend 2nd and 3rd charges on residential, land, commercial, buy-to-lets, HMOs and bridging out of a bridge. We do not make regulated loans.
It's a matter of time.
The rates vary depending on how long you use the loan, your repayment plan and the loan to value. For more information about our rates, get in touch on 0161 312 5656.
For business/investment purposes.
You can use the money for business/investment purposes. This will be discussed during the application process.
The Valuation fee and a £350 'lock-in' fee.
The only fees that you pay up front are the Valuation fee and 'lock-in' fee. Other costs can be added to the loan. Unlike many other lenders, we don't require payment of legal fees upfront; instead, this can be added to the repayment of the loan.
30 minutes decision in principle.
We approve loans, subject to a valuation and underwriting, within 30 minutes of your application. Once you agree to the decision in principle the completion time is up to you and your solicitors. We have been known to complete loans within 24 hours.
