Bridging loan 7 properties

Property type 7 residential units

Property Value £5,000,000

Loan Value £3,000,000

Ltv 68%

Sumarry

The challenge

Our client held seven individual loans with a single lender. After missing payments on just two of the mortgages, the lender called in the loans on all seven properties, issuing a formal demand with only 14 days to repay in full or face receivership.

What we did

Our bdm at rmsf negotiated directly with the lender to secure an extension on the repayment deadline. Simultaneously, our team arranged a £3 million bridging facility, allowing the client to refinance the entire portfolio and repay the outgoing lender in full.

Key obstacles

The outgoing lender changed the repayment terms mid-negotiation, forcing us to renegotiate under pressure. Final deadline was met with just two minutes to spare. Several properties lacked full local authority planning approval, complicating the loan structure.

The solution

Thanks to our strong lender relationships, deep understanding of planning regulations, and creative structuring, we secured a deal that allowed certain planning conditions to be completed post-completion, satisfying both lender and client requirements.

The result

  • All 7 properties were saved from repossession
  • Loan completed in just 3 weeks
  • Client's portfolio was successfully restructured

The challenge

Our high-net-worth client set out to acquire a grade ii listed manor house with 55 acres of land, steeped in historical significance. the property showed signs of subsidence and required structural repair, making it unsuitable for immediate letting.

What we did

Key obstacles

The property showed signs of subsidence and required structural repair, making it unsuitable for immediate letting. the btl strategy raised red flags, as the home was not in lettable condition at point of purchase. the extensive acreage added complexity, with lenders concerned about ongoing maintenance liabilities.

The solution

By presenting a detailed long-term investment case and leveraging our strong relationship with a high-net-worth lender, we secured a loan, despite the asset's initial condition. our strategic guidance helped structure a deal that allowed for property improvements post-completion, satisfying lender requirements and the client's investment goals.
