Refinance Existing
🔄 Refinancing with Specialist Lending
Struggling to refinance through a high street lender? Don’t worry — specialist refinancing could be the solution.
At Af & Associates, we help clients access specialist lenders when circumstances don’t fit the mainstream. Whether it’s complex income, property type, credit history, or raising capital for something non-standard — we’ve got the experience and lender access to make it happen.
💡 What Is Specialist Refinancing?
Specialist refinancing is when you replace your current mortgage or property loan using a lender that understands complex or non-standard situations.
You might use it to:
-
Raise funds for refurbishment, investment, or business use
-
Consolidate debt
-
Get out of an expensive bridge or short-term loan
-
Refinance a buy-to-let, HMO, or mixed-use property
-
Secure a better rate if you’ve improved your credit or property value
🧩 When Might You Need a Specialist Lender?
-
Self-employed or irregular income
-
Credit issues or missed payments
-
Property is non-standard (e.g. above a shop, flat in a converted building)
-
Buying or refinancing in a limited company
-
Want to raise capital that traditional lenders won’t support (e.g. tax bill, business use, debt)
If this sounds like your situation, don’t worry — this is exactly what specialist lenders are designed for.
🛠️ What Can We Refinance?

📋 What You’ll Need
Specialist lenders tend to be more flexible — but they’ll still need:
-
Details of the existing loan
-
Proof of income (e.g. SA302s, company accounts, or payslips)
-
Property details (valuation, type, tenancy if applicable)
-
A clear explanation of why you're refinancing and how the funds will be used
We’ll walk you through it and present your case clearly to the right lenders.
⚠️ Keep in Mind
-
Specialist rates may be slightly higher than high street deals — but offer more flexibility
-
You’ll usually need at least 20–25% equity (or more for complex cases)
-
Some lenders allow interest-only or limited company borrowing
We’ll compare the market and explain the options in plain English.
