What we did

Our development client needed to raise funds quickly to purchase another major residential development site in the Northwest and had practically completed this prominent large Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) site, which was fully operational with student lets in the City Centre of Stoke-on-Trent in the Northwest of England.

They approached Focus with their funding requirements and Focus raised the funds within three weeks, which included the valuation instruction and legal due diligence, which Focus coordinated, and project managed very successfully for a seamless transaction.

Development guidance, expertise and services we provided:

Released monies for the developer, with a rapid refinance funding facility drawdown.

Prepared a detailed Development Appraisal to submit to the development lenders.

Obtained maximum LTV Peak Senior Debt Funding.

Prepared a detailed Development Credit Paper to submit to the lender.

Project-managed the whole loan process on behalf of the client, dealing with the lender, valuer, lender's solicitors and client solicitors
