Case Study

Supporting Complex Borrowers

A self-employed couple with multiple income streams were seeking a large, interest-only mortgage. After being declined by other lenders, their case was reviewed by TML, who worked closely with the broker to understand their full financial position, including business and rental income. Based on this, a suitable mortgage solution was identified at around 60% loan-to-value. This example highlights TML’s flexible approach and willingness to consider complex cases on an individual basis. A recent example illustrating TML’s approach
