Refinance & Development Loan: £830,000 - Case Study

Harrogate - £830,000 - Development Loan - 20 days - Project Set To Complete in January 2020

It’s easy to see why this stunning development in the village of Pannal, Harrogate, was chosen as our Property of the Week. It’s to complete in the coming weeks.
Mint Bridging successfully worked with this experienced developer on multiple projects in and around beautiful Harrogate. Together, we’ve overcome a number of challenges. This latest project involved a considerable schedule of works, including the demolition of an existing bungalow followed by the ground-up development of an ambitious high-spec six-bedroom property.
Mint was brought in at a pivotal point. With funds in place from another lender plus cash from previous projects, the bungalow had been purchased. Following planning approval, it was then demolished. Refinance was needed to push on with the plans though.
The developer was looking for a competitive rate, flexibility of terms and the support and experience of an outstanding portfolio management team. Mint provided this all.
A loan of £830,000, on a first charge over a 12-month term was completed within 20 working days – from underwriting to offer. With an initial release of £127,000 on day 1 (to refinance the initial loan) and to provide day 1 working capital, the remaining development finance was released in tranches linked to the schedule of work. Later, when the build schedule experienced setbacks, caused by the heavy summer rain, our portfolio management team stepped. We released contingency finance at no additional cost and keeping the project on-track.
The exit plan for the development is the sale of this stunning property. We’re delighted to confirm it has just gone on to the market at an asking price of £1.5M.
