Loan of the Month – May 22

Our big project of the month! This was our second time working with these borrowers, who approached us for funds to repay the current lender on a site they owned with planning for 9 new dwellings. We also provided the full build costs to complete the development.

In the medieval town of Thetford, part of the build included the conversion of a grade II listed building and an archeological survey! At £900k build costs, the work to be done is extensive but having worked with these guys before we know that they always deliver, and as such were happy to provide 70% LTV and 100% of the build costs.  

Knowing your borrower really aids in loan applications, as we already have a relationship established to move the application forward. Don’t worry if you’re new to us though, we take on new clients every day and welcome all types of property developers to get in touch with us!

With that in mind, if you have any bridging or development enquiries, you can get in touch with us today by filling in your information below, and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. We look forward to hearing from you!

One such Senior Development Loan was against a block of new-build apartments in Poole. The development proposal changed during the loan, and our flexibility enabled us to meet the borrower’s changing needs during the term.

Light Development Loan

If you have a project – involving a major refurb, conversion or extension – and require funds for both the purchase (i.e. on day 1) and the development work (i.e. loan drawdowns), then our Light Development Loan is for you. Even with drawdowns, we make the process as simple as possible. And for these projects, we typically don’t even require monitoring surveys, either.

Case Study

On this loan, we had a borrower who required a Light Development Loan to purchase an ex-semi commercial unit to convert into flats. They needed funds very quickly, and we were able to structure a deal to provide the loan needed.

Auction Bridging Loan

If you have your eyes set on a property soon to go under-the-hammer, then our Auction Bridging Loan enables you to go into the auction with confidence. We’ll arrange terms with you up front, so that you know exactly what you can afford to pay. And given the speed with which we complete on loans, delivering on the finance after you’ve secured the property won’t be a problem.

Refurb Bridging Loan

Our Refurb Bridging Loan is for projects where the borrower is looking to refurbish, convert or extend a property. We provide up to 70% of the purchase price on day 1, and the borrower then provides the funding themselves for any work required. Because of this, developers typically love this product when the refurb or conversion costs are small, as it enables them to maximise their day 1 funding.

Case Study

We recently lent to a developer who was looking to convert a house in Oxfordshire into an HMO. They had the funds for the conversion, so just needed as much on day 1 to help with the purchase costs. We provided 70% LTV even though another lender had down-valued the property.
