FAQ

I have found a high-potential central London development site. Can you fund a fast acquisition?

Yes. The Central London case lent £11.16 million against a £27 million commercial property (41% loan-to-value) in 2 weeks for a developer planning a mixed-use redevelopment. Central London commercial sites in the £25M+ range are well within our deal capacity.

How is a development-acquisition bridge structured?

A 12 to 18 month loan secured against the existing property value, with monthly interest payments. The borrower exits either by refinancing into development-finance once planning is in place, or by selling the site to another developer at a higher post-planning value.

How fast can a £10M+ acquisition close?

2 to 3 weeks for a clean transaction with documented valuation, as in this Central London case. Larger deals get enhanced due diligence (top-tier valuer, specialist solicitor) but our team runs everything in parallel to compress the timeline. For pre-approved repeat clients we have moved faster.
