£400k bridging loan to repay the existing lender on a large commercial unit in London

  • 9 December 2022

Funded:

£400,000

Location:

South East

Property Type:

Commercial

Funding:

Bridging Loan

The Project

Our client required a bridging loan of £400,000 to repay the existing lender on a large commercial unit in Harrow, London. Our client was under tight time pressure to repay the existing lender.

The Approach

The deal was complicated by a small portion of the wider property being unregistered land which was discovered during the early stage of the legal process. The firms of solicitors involved were pragmatic in identifying and dealing with the tricky legal issues ahead of Seneca’s valuation being received. Although the security was down-valued, this did not prevent Seneca from supporting the deal.

The Outcome

Within a few short weeks of introduction, the funds were released and the refinance was completed.

Loading...

  • Loan Size: £100,000 – £2.5 million.
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): Up to 75% of the end value (Gross Development Value or market value), with flexibility available on a case-by-case basis.
  • Desktop valuations are available
  • Term: Usually up to 12 months, but occasionally longer if LTV can support it.
  • Interest Roll-Up: Interest can be “rolled up” and repaid at exit, easing cash-flow pressure during the loan term.
  • Interest Serviced: Interest can also be “serviced” allowing a larger day 1 cash drawdown (subject to serviceability).
  • Exit Strategy Required: Clear repayment strategy—such as sale or refinance—must be established at the outset.
  • Security: First legal charge on the property is required.
  • Transparent Costs: Arrangement fees typically start at 1%. No early repayment or exit fees, and no hidden admin charges.
