Cheap isnāt always best, and hereās a real example that proves it. š°
A client came to us in February wanting to release equity on an investment property. We flagged that his original brokerās chosen lender wasnāt right for the deal and would likely down-value the property. He went ahead anyway, and 4 to 5 weeks later, thatās exactly what happened.
We reworked the case with a lender suited to the property and his investment plan, and this time the equity release went through.
The lesson: the lowest rate isnāt always the best outcome. The right lender and the right strategy matter, especially in specialist property finance. Losing weeks on a project like this delays the next investment and costs months of rental income.
