The Project

Our client required Bridging Finance to support the purchase of a 5-bedroom detached house in Hounslow, West London.

The Approach

Following receipt of the valuation report, we provided the Borrower with funds to complete on the acquisition, allowing them to commence their plans to convert the house, into 6 apartments. (Self-funded).

The Outcome

We were able to support the purchase of the property by offering a Gross Loan of £817,073 at 70% LTV. With the purchase now over the line, our client has a 15 month loan term to complete the conversion works and exit our Facility via a Refinance.
