Refurbishment Bridging Finance

WHAT IS A SHORT-TERM LOAN FOR REFURBISHMENT – CHANGE OF USE?

A Short-Term Loan for Refurbishment for Change of Usage is a temporary financing solution for renovating a property to change its purpose, such as converting a commercial space into a residential unit.

This loan supports the transformation process, covering costs like renovations, regulatory compliance, and potential income loss during refurbishment.

With a typical duration of one to three years, it offers quick access to funds for projects with a change of use objective. Interest rates may be higher, reflecting the short-term nature and potential complexities of altering the property’s purpose.

OUR CLIENTS THOUGHTS

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

Marc worked over many months to help me find the right financial product to suit my complicated refinancing project. Having identified the right product, Marc then worked for many more months to help me get the financing completed. I had so many issues that I had to face and at every obstacle Marc was on hand to help me to resolve it, and very often took it upon himself to do it for me. Marc went for beyond just brokering a good deal for me, he was my partner in making this happen. I could not have done this without his support. Thank you Marc for being so calm and patient and having faith when I had lost mine!

Marc has provided our company with excellent service and advice. He has vast experience and knowledge, and is able to advice on the most suitable lenders given our requirements.

Especially during the legal stage of the lending process, he facilitates and communicates with lenders in a way we would not be able to ourselves.

We would certainly not be where we are without his services. Highly recommended.
