Case Study: Eaton Square Acquisition
Recently, we assisted a client in acquiring a Grade II listed property on Eaton Square. The client, an overseas investor, needed to move quickly to secure the property ahead of other interested parties.
We arranged a £12 million bridging loan within 5 days, allowing the client to make an immediate cash offer. The loan was structured with an 18-month term, giving the client ample time to sell their property overseas and arrange a suitable long-term mortgage.
The speed and flexibility of the bridging loan were crucial in securing this prime Belgravia property, which had attracted significant interest from other wealthy buyers.
