The situation
The asset needed refurbishment before it could produce the trading record a term lender would want.
Deposit was already committed, so failure to complete meant losing it.
Spain ยท Hotels and hospitality
An operator had three weeks to complete on a hotel bought at auction. No mainstream lender could move at that speed.
The asset needed refurbishment before it could produce the trading record a term lender would want.
Deposit was already committed, so failure to complete meant losing it.
We separated the problem into two stages: speed first, cost second. A bridge lender funded completion against the asset value, priced for twelve months.
At the same time we prepared the refinance case, so the term lender was already familiar with the asset by the time trading figures existed.
The bridge completed in nineteen days and the purchase held.
Ten months later the group refinanced onto a fifteen year commercial mortgage at roughly a third of the bridge rate.
