Farming Refinance

Long standing Farming clients where we have been requested to refinance some lending as the existing borrowing was reaching maturity.

At the meetings with the client we managed to identify two exit routes for eventual repayment being a potential low cost housing development site on the edge of a nearby village, this was after a referral to local Planning Consultants.

The other site on the periphery of the 200 acre farm is prone to winter flooding & has attracted the interest of national wildlife enterprises for over wintering breeding birds etc.

With the potential two exit routes identified we were able to approach new Lenders & secure fresh term funding which will give the clients the time required to proceed with a sale from either site to repay the the borrowing within an agreed timeframe.

The client has requested Bespoke Banking maintain dialogue through ongoing review meetings.

Bridging Solution to Acquire New Property
Experienced commercial developer had the opportunity to purchase a new premises to effect a quick renovation and re-let. Deal was done from first conversation to completion in just over 6 weeks to allow him to quickly  start to make a return.

Funding The Purchase of a New Commercial Property

We were approached by the client to purchase a large F/H property in Gloucester to cater for their expanding Adult Care Home business.

 

Following our initial meeting it was clear that their financial information was unsophisticated & we introduced them to one of our Panel Accountants who were able to formalise their MI information into sensible Management Accounts. We then placed the business with a lender who agreed a term lending facility over 20 years at 65% LTV with a 1st charge over the property.

 

The client is now able to continue their expansion plans with this increased capacity. They also have robust Accounting systems in place which will clearly help as the business levels increase.

Refinance of a Short Term Loan into a Longer Term Facility
We were asked to refinance an existing and expiring short term loan related to a block of over 55’s retirement apartments. Although there was limited appetite from funders due to restricted nature of the apartments we were able to source a suitable funder.
In addition, the original exit route was an open market sale of the apartments post completion which due to the Covid pandemic had been affected. As a result, the owners asked that we find a term facility based on their new strategy of part sale / part rental of the units. We were able to source a five year term loan with a specialist funder at good rates.
Open Ended High Value Bridging Loan
We were approached by a high net worth individual who wanted to purchase a new property and pay a tax bill ahead of sale of other property assets. An open ended bridge of £1m was agreed with a mainstream lender at less than 6.5%, as LTV was below 50%.
Equity Release to Fund Investment Purchase
A good client wanted to raise some cash to expand his investment property portfolio. After much deliberation, we suggested taking an equity release by remortagging one of his other properties to fund this. A quick and easy creative solution allowing him to borrow at lower rates.
Gearing Up Existing Portfolio
