Quite often you hear “it could never happen to me” or “I’ll sort it out later”.
Well the old maxim of “failing to plan is planning to fail” is no better suited than to ignoring crucial decisions on protection.
We can arrange 1st, 2nd and 3rd charge loans on residential and commercial property or land (with or without planning permission.)

Buy to Let Mortgages are for those wishing to invest in residential rental property. Although the perception is that buy to let mortgages are expensive, this isn’t necessarily correct. There are many lenders who offer competitive rates, which in many cases are generally similar to the rates offered on a standard mortgage.
Landlords also have a choice between interest only and repayment mortgages. Buy to let mortgages do differ in several ways from standard mortgages. When lenders are considering approving a buy to let loan, they generally base their decision on the likely rental income from the property and not necessarily the applicants’ income. With our expertise in this market, we can help you find the best product to suit your requirements.

Property development finance lies at the core of every successful development project. With effective property development finance you can devote all your energies to the smooth running of your development project, secure in the knowledge that you have a firm financial foundation to build on.
Many providers of property development finance do not fully understand the property sector, and have little appreciation of the unique challenges and issues that it presents. As a result, many property developers find themselves constrained in their ambitions and have to take finance packages that are not ideally suited to their circumstances. Cherry Mortgage & Finance is different.
As property development finance experts, we strive to foster strong personal relationships with all of our clients. Unlike some finance providers, we prefer to deal with our clients as individuals, arranging face-to-face meetings to introduce ourselves and our services to developers. We work hard not to appear as a faceless institution to our clients, and actively encourage them to approach us whenever they need help or advice.
This hands-on approach often leads to a continuing relationship with our clients across a series of successive projects, and the forging of a lasting partnership that proves mutually beneficial to both parties.
