A developer client was presented with an off-market opportunity to purchase a discounted site with planning for 25 apartments in South London. In order to secure the purchase he needed to complete within 4 weeks. The company’s cash-flow was tied up in existing developments.
GDV of project – £7,500,000
Land cost – £1,900,000
We provided a finance facility of 70% LTV for the land facilitating the purchase at 0.65% per month, funds were complete and in the developer’s bank in two weeks from application. Concurrently, we arranged a full development facility with equity funding to repay this facility and provide funds for the full build costs of the scheme over 24 months.
The client therefore not only secured the site quickly for well below market value, he also secured full funding for the entire project and was breaking ground within three months of making the offer.
