Mortgage Express no longer provide instant remortgages and investors will generally need to wait six months before they apply to remortgage their investment properties. Birmingham Midshires made a similar announcement back in December 2007. We are now looking into all the possible techniques for raising finance for BTL investment during the credit crunch. Options available include private (mezzanine) funding, rent to own, lease options etc. We will provide further details on the options available in due course. We are currently preparing a report for investors on how to rent out your property with minimum void periods. If you would like a copy please email Rentals@PropertyDeals.biz. Inspection trips to Eastern Cyprus (around Ayia Napa, Paralimni, Protaras and Kapparis) can be arranged for as little as £139 per person.
