Frequently asked questions about Precise Mortgages

Is Precise Mortgages legit?
Yes, Precise Mortgages Limited is a legitimate FCA-authorised specialist lender (FCA reference 494549) and part of OSB Group PLC, a FTSE 250 bank listed on the London Stock Exchange. Precise has been operating in the UK specialist mortgage market since 2010 and is one of the most widely recognised specialist lenders among UK mortgage intermediaries. You can verify their FCA status at register.fca.org.uk.
What are Precise Mortgages interest rates?
Precise bridging loan rates typically start from around 0.59% per month for low-LTV, first charge transactions with clean credit and a viable exit strategy. Rates reach 1.3% per month for higher-risk cases. Buy-to-let and commercial mortgage rates start from approximately 5.5% per annum depending on LTV, property type, and borrower profile. All Precise rates are individually underwritten, the exact rate for your case depends on the specific circumstances.
Can I get a Precise Mortgages loan with bad credit?
Precise Mortgages is designed for complex cases and will consider moderate adverse credit history, particularly where the adverse event is historical and there is a plausible explanation. Satisfied defaults, missed payments, and some CCJs can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Precise is not a specialist adverse credit lender for very severe profiles, but its manual underwriting approach means cases that would be automatically declined elsewhere may be accepted after a full credit review.
How much can I borrow from Precise Mortgages?
Precise Mortgages provides bridging loans and commercial mortgages from £75,000 to £15 million. Buy-to-let and portfolio mortgages are sized based on rental income coverage and property value. Portfolio landlord cases can be assessed on a background portfolio basis alongside the property being financed. HMO and multi-unit freehold block lending is available at competitive LTVs for experienced landlords.
Is Precise Mortgages FCA regulated?
Yes, Precise Mortgages Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FCA reference number 494549. As part of OSB Group PLC, Precise benefits from additional PRA oversight at a group level. Consumer mortgage products are subject to full FCA mortgage regulation under the Mortgage Conduct of Business rules (MCOB). Commercial and investment lending is also subject to FCA conduct requirements.
How fast does Precise Mortgages approve applications?
Precise Mortgages typically provides a credit decision within 48 hours of receiving a full application through an intermediary. Legal completion on a bridging loan typically takes 3 to 4 weeks from credit approval. Buy-to-let and commercial mortgage completions follow a similar timeline to mainstream lenders, typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on conveyancing and valuation. Precise is not the fastest bridging lender for urgent same-week completions.
Can I repay a Precise Mortgages loan early?
Early repayment terms vary by product at Precise Mortgages. Bridging loans typically allow early repayment after a minimum interest period of 1 to 3 months. Fixed-rate buy-to-let mortgages may carry early repayment charges during the fixed period. Variable rate products typically allow overpayments without penalty. Always check your specific mortgage illustration or facility agreement for exact early repayment terms before making any payment.
Precise Mortgages vs Shawbrook Bank, which is better for portfolio landlords?
Both Precise Mortgages and Shawbrook Bank are highly regarded specialist lenders for portfolio landlords, and the best choice depends on your specific portfolio profile. Precise Mortgages has particularly deep expertise in HMO, multi-unit freehold block, and complex portfolio cases, and its criteria for portfolio landlords with 4+ mortgaged properties is well-developed. Shawbrook Bank, as a full bank, may offer more competitive rates on lower-risk commercial mortgage cases and can also provide bridging and business finance from the same institution. A Lendus comparison will quickly surface which lender offers the best terms for your portfolio structure.
