Commercial Term Loan Cardiff

 

The Issue

 

In Cardiff, an experienced developer and investor required a Commercial Term Loan to convert a outdated office building into 11 apartments, each to be let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements. The primary goal was to repay the first and second charge lenders who had initially financed the development. However, the valuation of the property did not meet the borrower’s expectations, leading to a potential shortfall in the required funding.

 

The Remedy

 

To resolve this issue, the developer provided an additional security property also let under an AST. This additional security enabled Alternative Bridging to increase the Loan-to-Value (LTV), thereby covering the shortfall. The interest-only term loan of £1,050,000 was structured to facilitate the completion of the apartment conversion and ensure the repayment to the existing lenders. This approach allowed the developer to continue with the project without facing financial constraints.

 

The Outcome

 

The successful arrangement of the interest-only term loan allowed the developer to repay the first and second charge lenders and proceed with the conversion of the office building into 11 apartments. By securing additional property as collateral, the borrower mitigated the valuation shortfall and obtained the necessary financing. The developer’s plan is to establish a steady income stream from the newly converted apartments and, within the agreed five-year term, refinance to repay the term loan. This case study demonstrates the importance of flexible financial solutions in overcoming unexpected valuation issues and ensuring the successful completion of property development projects.
