6 Months, 3 Properties, 3 Funders, 1 Client: A Case Study

Here at Pure Property Finance, we pride ourselves on our service which has seen a number of clients use our brokers time and time again. One such recent case saw our team advise the same client on three different properties and secure finance from three different funders for them within just 6 months.

The Projects

The client’s three separate projects were:

1. The development of an existing property with a rear extension and basement conversion in London.

The property was owned by the client, but it was generating little income. So, planning was gained to refurbish and extend the property with an end GDV of £2m. The client didn’t have experience in the property development sector, but had employed a strong professional team which, when presented to the funder, secured the deal as the risk of experience was negated.

2. Re-bridge Loan

The client had finance on a site which needed to be re-banked and extended. Planning was in place for a permitted development scheme, but the client was looking to gain planning to fully-demolish and build a new scheme which was more in-keeping with the surroundings and would offer great profitability.

£500,000 was raised on the site. This refinanced the current lenders and provided further funds to assist with costs. Planning has now been obtained and we are in the process of gaining development finance for the scheme.

3. Commercial Term Refinance

Commercial finance was in place on an industrial unit in London, however, the current funder could not release any further funds to the client due to internal constraints. This meant refinance was needed.

£700,000 was raised on the property which refinanced the loan and allowed additional funds to be released to assist with other property transactions.

Financing Future Projects

Pure are already working closely on three other projects with the client and hope to have these completed by the close of 2018.

“Building relationships with our clients is key to understanding their needs on current and future property transactions. We cover all elements of property finance, so it was great to be able to assist with each of the client’s needs.”
