Mainstream lenders and High Street Banks turned the housing project away
First-time real estate developers in Dulwich had acquired a family-run garage that had fallen into disrepair and had been neglected for years.
The homeowners had no desire to re-open the garage but instead wished to develop it into a commercial site.
The London Borough of Southwark had already granted planning permission. However, they needed financial support to get the project started.
With this being their first development project the banks and other lenders turned them away.
But fortunately, they come to us and we assessed the housing project with the help of our experienced team who were able to make it happen.
We provided an initial loan that covered the acquisition costs of the property and a development loan to cover the construction fees.
This allowed our clients to move swiftly on with building without any further delay.

Within a year the properties had been completed and sold.
The final gross development value of the project came in at £2,235,000 with the loan-to-value ratio never exceeding 33%.
This meant that first-time developers walked away with a substantial return above £ 1,000,000.
