Smaller end journey
Many finance brokers operate within fairly narrow parameters for funding, usually with a minimum and maximum amount. In a large organisation with a familiar range of applicants, this makes sense .
We have access to a very broad spectrum of funds, and can therefore entertain quality applications at both ends of the scale.
For example, at the smaller end, we have an applicant who owns a number of quality sites. His problem is that in his area there is little or no access to development funds. We are helping him to arrange a loan against one of the sites which he has completed with own cash; this will release some £500k in order to complete work on some 15 or so units in another block. Having completed these units, the cashflow will enable him to start work on a brownfield site which will have planning for some 20 houses.
Our client has a very good perspective of becoming a significant developer in an area where he knows the local demographic, where there is a need for one and two bed units and for family units well situated for a commute to a significant city.
Albeit this is a “bread and butter” deal, we are delighted to be working with him on the journey for him and his company.
Higher End Journey
We are also working with an applicant – a very kind introduction from a London solicitor – with a top end hotel project in one of the Northern European countries. The amount required for this particular project is just short of E100m; it fits the profile of one of our specialist funds. As with the case above, we would see this as a starting point for this client.
