STRETCHED SENIOR DEBT

As a developer cash is king and having enough of it to capitalise on a new opportunity is key to success. Until now 80% of our new developers have only sourced senior debt funding from traditional high street banks and they have encountered difficulties with getting the funding they need within the period that is required. With little appetite for speculative residential development funding these high street lenders will initially say “this is of interest” but then you will face obstacles and hurdles and 6 months later you still have no decision. We understand that each client may have different priorities and these are just some of the options we can offer.
• Lending up to 90% of Cost starting at 6.5%
• Max lending up to 75% of GDV
• Roll up of interest
• Non-Compound interest
• Fast Decisions
• Terms issued with 24 hrs
• Credit backed terms within 5 days
• Ability to drawdown in weeks, not months
• No need for company accounts
• Experience is essential and ability to show past performance.

TERM LENDING

Many of our clients who come to us to provide short term loans for acquisition or development purposes intend to retain the asset and need to secure exit funding. It makes sense for us to be able to offer term lending. With access to a vast number of challenger banks, foreign banks and investment banks we can offer competitive rates and terms when considering a long-term finance solution.
Equally, for clients who already own their asset and wish to refinance, or for clients wishing to purchase an investment property we can arrange the term finance you require. Whether you are rate driven or require a more flexible lender we are usually able to assist.
• Vanilla investments
• Specialist residential
• Single dwellings
• Portfolios
• HMO/ Student Lets
• Commercial
• Semi Commercial
• Trading businesses
Generally, we require more detail than when arranging a short-term loan, but once we have the information we can give you an indication of the cost and aim to have terms agreed from one of our lenders with 72 hours, if not sooner.
Our lenders will lend
• Up to 75% LTV
• Rates starting from 2.99%
• 1-2% arrangement fee’s
• No Exit fees once the term is over

Our non-status lenders are extremely flexible and very easy to work with. They require no documentation for our clients and can get deals turned around in a number of days.

• Up to 70% LTV

AUCTION FINANCE

We met a client at one of the property auctions we attend, the client was looking at a particular lot on the day and wanted to get a decision quickly on whether we could arrange the finance for them to purchase to the property and carry out very light refurbishment to then keep as a buy to let. The client needed 70% LTV for the purchase and works. We contacted our preferred lender for auction finance, after giving them the information and the clients intentions towards the property the lender gave us verbal confirmation that we could proceed followed up by agreed terms 10 minutes later. The client won the bid at auction, and then contacting a member of staff in our office to get the application form completed, we submitted the application form to the lender alongside having legals instructed and a valuation booked for the next day. The valuation report came back to us 3 days later, and both lender and borrower’s solicitors worked together to get this deal completed in 10 days. The client then needed to refinance the property 3 months later and put it onto a buy to let, we arranged a 10-year term for the client at a rate of 3.99% per annum.

Case Overview
• Value – £300,000
• GDV – £365,000
