Ruscombe Road

We provided development finance for the completion of a new residential development. We are also instructed on securing a commercial exit in the form of a block sale.

Case Overview

  • The client wanted to purchase a former office building to build 19 new-build apartments & 2 new-build houses
  • Whilst purchasing was going through a planning application was submitted to demolish the existing building
  • Purchase price of the land: £100,000
  • Development cost (excluding purchase & finance): £1,180,000
  • Total Development Costs (excluding finance): £1,280,000
  • GDV: £2,051,250
  • As well as raising finance the client required finance for the development
  • Completed units would then be sold to recoup all project costs

Deal Structure

STAGE 1
As the property was being purchase without planning permission for the proposed development, we were able to secure 65% Loan to Purchase Price (LTPP).

STAGE 2
Upon full planning approval the Residual Land Valuation (RLV) of the site became £325,000

The same lender agreed at the outset, that upon planning approval and due to the uplift in RLV, they would fund 100% of the development costs.

Although the developers cash into the project was only £35,000. They also had the planning gain on the site of £225,000.  Making their total equity contribution £260,000

STAGE 3
Completed properties put on the market

Development Exit Loan of £1,400,000 secured to repay Purchase & Development Loan, at a lower rate and release a small % of the profit.

STAGE 4
Sale of properties to repay Development Exit Loan and release remainder of developers profit
