The Challenge
We were introduced by a commercial agency whose client had been let down on several occasions by their existing broker.
The client was purchasing a prime commercial investment unit and needed to move quickly to meet strict deadlines set by the seller.
However, there were a number of challenges:
- Part of the deposit was coming from a Bounce Back Loan, which can be difficult for lenders to accept
- The case required fast turnaround on terms, valuation and offer
- Previous delays meant there was little room for error
Our Approach
From the outset, we focused on structuring the case clearly and efficiently:
- Assessed the client’s business, highlighting strong turnover and net profit
- Presented the strength of the investment, including a long-term tenant with a 15-year lease and regular rent reviews
- Engaged directly with a suitable lending partner early to discuss the deposit structure
- Managed the process closely to ensure timelines were met across all parties
The Solution
We secured an £800,000 commercial mortgage at 65% LTV, with the lender agreeing to accept the Bounce Back Loan as part of the deposit.
Despite delays on the seller’s side due to refinancing arrangements, the transaction completed successfully within the required timeframe.
The client was able to proceed with confidence, and the commercial agency gained a reliable funding partner for future transactions.
Why It Matters
Commercial finance often requires a more hands-on, tailored approach—particularly when timelines are tight or the structure is complex.
Understanding how to position both the borrower and the investment is key to getting deals across the line.
