  • Funding 365 delivers light development loans from 0.74 pcm with no exit fee

    Funding 365 delivers light development loans from 0.74 pcm with no exit fee Funding 365 has today announced that it has sharpened the pricing on its Light Development product with interest rates that start from just 0.74% per month with no exit fee. The product is designed to enable property developers to carry out heavy refurbishments, extensions, building conversions and PDR schemes, as well as finish and exit development projects. Eligible loans are £200,000 to £3million in size and secured against properties in England and Wales for up to 24 months. The maximum LTV is 75% (day one) and clients can also borrow up to 100% cost of works, up to a maximum LTGDV of 70%. The only fees charged are a 2% arrangement fee plus legal and valuation / monitoring fees at market rate. As with all of Funding 365’s products this is available to all brokers, with no waiting lists. Visit www.funding-365.com/products for transparent product guides or call Funding 365’s underwriters directly on 0800 689 0650 for more information, quick answers and bespoke terms. Laura Kendall, Marketing Director at Funding 365 explains, “We previously included an exit fee in our Light Development product as this is how the majority of development lenders price their loans. But as we’ve settled in to the development market we’ve found that most of our brokers and borrowers appreciate their loans being priced in the same way that we price our bridging loans, with no exit fees (or application fees, admin fees, early redemption fees or other such fees). We also found that we were, in practice, writing some loans that were a little lower than our advertised interest rate, so we adjusted that too. We’re constantly assessing our products to make sure that they’re delivering for clients.”

  • Funding 365 completes £8.5m bridging loan in just 3 working days

    Funding 365 completes £8.5m bridging loan in just 3 working days Fast bridging lender Funding 365 has completed an £8.5m bridging loan within 3 working days to save a borrower’s buy to let portfolio from being sold at auction. The borrower needed to re-finance very quickly as their high street lender had appointed an LPA receiver following a dispute and a number of its properties were due to be sold within days. The loan, which was brokered by LINK Capital UK, was supported by security over a portfolio of 16 commercial and residential properties. Known for its ability to execute complicated bridging loans very quickly, Funding 365 previously completed a £6.2m semi-commercial bridging loan within just 1 working day of agreeing terms with the borrower. Funding 365 Managing Director, Mike Strange comments,”We are very pleased that we were able to help the borrower retain ownership of their property portfolio and allow them the time to re-finance with a term mortgage. This is just another example of the quick, tailored service that our broker partners have come to appreciate from us. Credit must equally go to the team at LINK Capital UK and to our solicitors who worked above and beyond to complete this case within such tight time constraints.” LINK Capital UK Managing Director, Theo Kemp comments, “As a professional finance intermediary we are always conscious of those lenders that say they can deliver but can’t as ‘computer says no’ or credit committee declines the case at the nth hour. Funding 365 is unprecedented in its professionalism, speed and integrity - delivering what the customer requires on time and at highly competitive terms - especially in this situation with the borrower being in receivership. Mike Strange and Eddie Boakye worked extremely hard with us and the customer to deliver a complex solution so quickly."

  • Commercial Bridge on a Semi Commercial Property in London | Funding 365

    £1.9 MILLION 65% LTV 0.72% PER MONTH The brief Our solution Underwriter quote We took time to understand the nature of the client's credit issues and developed a 24 month loan accordingly. This was designed to give the client time to resolve all issues and exit onto a high-street BTL loan. We also built additional funds into the loan which allowed the client to pay back private investors. The client came to us in need of a loan to refinance another lender. The property, located in London, England, had just been converted into a fully tenanted ground floor shop and 4 flats above. Credit issues made it impossible to secure a high street loan at that time so we were enlisted to provide a temporary bridging solution. This was a really rewarding case to complete. The client, through no real fault of their own, found themselves compromised. Rescuing them from extension charges - and at a reasonable rate - really reinforces the important role that bridging finance plays in the property market.

  • Development Loans for Refurb | Conversion | Funding 365

    The brief Our solution Underwriter quote The complex requirements of this case demanded close, consistent correspondence between our team, the broker and the developers. Our underwriter on the case visited the property and met with the borrowers and the appointed QS to discuss their plans for converting the unit. This was supplemented by comprehensive background checks which confirmed the borrower's experience and strong credit history. As a result of this due diligence, we were able to offer a highly competitive, 15 month solution at a rate of 0.60% per month. The drawdowns were carefully designed to support the developer in every step of the conversion process. The client needed to take out debt on an unencumbered, vacant retail unit in Slough, England, to raise funds for onwards projects. They also required development funding to convert the security into 8 new apartments. There's some exciting regeneration going on in this area and it's really satisfying to be a part of this. I'm confident that this will be a great addition to the local area, not least because of the developer's reputation for creating fantastic conversions. Broker quote It's good to work with a lender that shares our values in an efficient closing process and takes an interest in the developer and their project. This makes for a straightforward process and rewarding for all parties involved. BACK TO PROJECTS £1.8 MILLION 73% LTV 0.60% PER MONTH FUNDRAISE & DEVELOPMENT: VACANT RETAIL UNIT CASE STUDY

  • Commercial Bridge on a Vacant Office Unit in London | Funding 365

    The brief Our solution Underwriter quote The lack of planning permission required us to take a holistic view of the project. By scoping out similar conversion projects on the same road and confirming the property's strength as a commercial asset, we were able to deliver a competitive 12 month solution. The client was in need of a bridging loan to purchase a vacant office in London, England, while planning permission was secured to convert it into a residential dwelling. The borrower was extremely communicative throughout the underwriting process, which really suits our hands-on, bespoke way of working. It made for a really swift completion and allowed us to execute the loan without delay. BACK TO PROJECTS £143,000 65% LTV 0.72% PER MONTH PURCHASE: VACANT OFFICE UNIT CASE STUDY

On this deal it’s to our lawyers’ credit that the client’s lawyer commented, “absolutely brilliant… to do this in three days is just incredible”. Top 10 Finance Director, Zara McDermott adds, “I’ve worked with Funding 365 on dozens of bridging deals over the years and I always have complete confidence that they will work with me to deliver for my clients, even on deals with such tight turnaround times.”
