What we did

The existing development client of Focus had secured a deal with the existing owner’s agent for a knock down price of £800,000 if the property was purchased in 10 days. 

Our developer client had the confidence to exchange knowing that Focus could deliver and arrange the funding to purchase the site within the 10 days deadline.
