Loan Amount: £1.2 Million
Structure: 1st Charge Bridge
Asset Class: 8 Residential HMO Properties in Bath

We recently supported clients who required urgent funding to complete their acquisition of 8 HMO properties in Bath after an overseas loan fell through at the last moment. Facing a strict auction deadline, timing was crucial.

Mark Wadmore and Andy Jacovou arranged a £1.26m first charge bridging loan, secured at 75% LTV with a competitive rate of 0.85% per month. With an eight-week timeline, the financing was tailored to help the clients meet the auction house’s deadlines, even amid the complexities of an expedited process. This funding enabled our clients to fulfil their commitment to the properties without delay.

£217,000 bridging loan secured in just 9 working days

Structure: Bridging loan
Asset Class: 8 Residential HMO Properties in Bath

Our client was in the process of refinancing a property to secure a deposit for a new purchase. However, an unexpected audit delayed the process, and with the completion deadline fast approaching, the client was at risk of losing their favourable mortgage rate as the offer was about to expire. Reapplying for a new product would have meant facing higher costs and further delays.

 

To make things even more challenging, both the introducing broker and the client were overseas, limiting communication and making the already tight timeline even harder to manage.

 

Senior Associate Andy Jacovou acted swiftly, leveraging his in-depth market knowledge and strong lender relationships to deliver a bridging loan solution. In just 9 working days from initial enquiry, Andy secured the funds at a competitive rate of 0.85% with an LTV of 60%—avoiding any delays or need for the client to reapply. The timely financing enabled the client to meet their completion deadline and lock in their favourable rate.

Distressed 250 apartment development
