Our clients approached us in a state of urgency. Their original lender's financing for their substantial investment property, a sprawling detached manor house, was nearing its expiration date, putting their property at risk of repossession.
Originally, this property served as a commercial asset. However, our clients had successfully obtained a change of use to residential and secured planning permission for a self-build plot on the same title. With these changes, the property's value had increased and was now considered a residential asset. Our clients sought to refinance to raise capital for interior renovations, requiring a bridging loan of £1 million for this purpose.
But here were the challenges they faced:
Our primary challenge was finding a lender willing and able to meet our client's complex needs.
Leveraging our strong relationship with a lender known for its flexibility in valuation terms, we secured a commitment from them. This lender agreed to include the property itself, the self-build plot value, and the land in their valuation.
With our experienced broker at the helm, we navigated this complex landscape, ensuring that all requirements were met within the tight timeframe. Ultimately, we secured a fast bridging loan of £1 million with the crucial £300,000 drawdown facility.
Key Loan Details
Interest Rate: 0.89% per month
Loan Term: 12 months
Retained Interest: Our clients paid the interest upfront, eliminating the need to set aside additional funds for it. This allowed them to focus entirely on funding their development.
Outcome
Despite the initial complexities and challenges associated with facilitating this bridge loan, we successfully completed the entire process in just 37 calendar days.
The linchpin of this successful case was undoubtedly our dedicated broker, Sam Baker, who demonstrated an unwavering commitment to seeing this deal through. His industry knowledge and ability to approach the right lenders, even in complex scenarios like this one, proved invaluable.
Sam was a constant presence, liaising daily with the surveyor, solicitor, valuer, lender, and our clients, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently.
