Deal done within two weeks
Mortgage lender Aspen has completed a complex 80% LTV development exit bridge at £1,260,000 on a substantial Grade II listed property in Lincolnshire.
Comprising seven high-end apartments made up of one, two, and three-bedrooms in Sleaford, the experienced developer required £960,000 to clear an existing facility and £300,000 in arrears to finish works.
Completed in under two weeks, the case involved substantial due diligence within a very short timeframe due to the technical nature of renovating a listed property and the legal procedures involved.
The deal, which was handled from start-to-finish by Aqib Iqbal, credit analyst at Aspen, was completed on the lender’s flat rate of 0.79% over a 12-month term and will be exited by refinance once the development is complete.
“We are seeing substantial demand for our 80% refurbishment and development exit product, and this case is a great example of our appetite to overcome complex barriers, move quickly, and deliver for our clients,” Jack Coombs, director at Aspen Bridging, said.
