Securing £4m of Debt to Grow a London Property Potfolio
Acquiring a property without any cash input can be challenging, but we were able to leverage this client’s existing portfolio to secure the purchase of a new HMO.
Loan Size: A combined total of over £4m of debt secured
Location: Four Locations across NW London
Loan Type(s): Bridge, Term & BTL
Security Type: Multiple Securities
Term: From 9 months (with no ERC) and BTL term mortgage
About the Deal
We were approached by a client with the opportunity to purchase an HMO at Below Market Value (BMV). This property was to be added to their existing Buy-To-Let portfolio, but the purchase needed to be completed quickly.
The Challenge
Unfortunately, even with the property being sold at BMV, the client did not have the necessary funds to make up the shortfall on a purchase bridge. We determined that the best solution to raising these funds would be to utilise three other properties in the client’s portfolio.
The Results
By completing second charges on two properties and remortgaging a previous bridge onto term debt, we raised enough funds for 100% of the purchase. The client was able to acquire a property which they otherwise couldn’t have, without any cash input.
We also assisted with the subsequent refinancing of the first and second charge bridges onto term mortgages. By working with three different lenders across a total of four properties, the client now has a new income-generating property, a portfolio which is stronger than ever, and all properties falling well within term finance LTVs for when the exit is required down the line.
