Case Study: Battersea Power Station Development
We recently assisted a client in securing a £1.2 million bridging loan to purchase an off-plan apartment in the Battersea Power Station development. The client needed to act swiftly to secure the property but was waiting for funds from an overseas investment to clear.
We arranged a 6-month bridging loan at 75% LTV, allowing the client to secure the property immediately. The loan was repaid when the client’s funds cleared, and they were able to refinance to a standard mortgage. This quick action enabled our client to secure a prime property in one of South London’s most exciting new developments.
