Castle Trust Bank recently completed a £481,286 Buy to Let Term loan to convert a guest house to holiday let apartments, with the added complication that the previous use as a guest house had not received planning permission. Castle Trust Bank’s BDM, underwriting, solicitor and management team came in for particular praise from Matthew Jones at GPS Financial, who brokered the deal. Matthew said, “As a broker, we often encounter lenders who look for a reason to say no. It is refreshing, even when challenged with an incredibly quirky set of circumstances, to find a team who are willing to say yes and to find a way to make the case work.”
