Mercantile Trust have announced an intermediary update which is available below.
Mercantile Trust:

- Properties owned as unencumbered wanting a loan under £100k – we will do our own in-house legal work, so there are no legal fees for the client to pay.
- We have a Homeowner Business loan product in which we can secure a second charge on a client’s residential property as long as the money is being used for business purposes only.
- We lend in Northern Ireland (BTL and Bridge) max LTV 70%.
