The Challenge
Our client, a medical professional and experienced portfolio landlord, owned 35 properties built up over 20 years.
He was exploring several options, including transferring his portfolio from personal ownership into a limited company. However, his primary objective was to create a more flexible funding structure to support a new strategy—buying, refurbishing and selling properties.
A key issue was the need to purchase properties quickly with cash to secure the best deals, which meant tying up significant personal funds.
Our Approach
We worked closely with the client and his accountant to explore multiple strategies:
- Assessed the feasibility of transferring the portfolio into a limited company and sourced a suitable lender
- Negotiated terms across the portfolio to provide a clear comparison of options
- Identified that flexibility and speed of funding were the client’s main priorities
- Structured a solution that allowed access to equity without disrupting the existing portfolio
The Solution
We arranged a £1.5m credit line facility secured against part of the client’s portfolio.
This gave the client:
- Access to funds on demand, without needing to apply for finance on each purchase
- The ability to complete quickly with cash, strengthening his position when negotiating deals
- Interest charged only on funds used, keeping costs efficient
- The flexibility to run multiple projects at the same time
This approach removed the need to use personal capital and provided a more cost-effective alternative to traditional bridging finance.
Why It Matters
For portfolio landlords, flexibility can be just as important as rates.
Having access to funds when needed—without repeated applications or delays—can open up more opportunities and improve overall returns.
