Breaking new ground in retail financing! At Hank Zarihs Associates, we’ve successfully restructured £25M in loans for The Belfry in Redhill and Cascades in Portsmouth.
What was needed?
Our client in London purchased a property at auction, a 3 bedroom townhouse that had structural issues. The client had originally agreed finance with another provider but the lender pulled out once the structural issues were identified by a survey. The client needed to replace that auction finance as quickly as possible.
What was needed?
Our client in Kent had converted a former public house into 6 residential units but decided they’d like to keep 3 of those units as a property investment in their portfolio.
The client wanted to refinance the project in order to pay off their existing agreements and investors for a longer term agreement.
What was needed?
Our client was looking to purchase a property in order to redevelop it and add value with the addition of a single storey rear and side extension and a loft conversion.
The capital required was for the purchase of the property as well as the cost of development, with the client providing a reasonable deposit.
What was needed?
Our client was using a Special Purpose Vehicle, a specialist type of investment company, to purchase an office building in Newbury and convert it into 109 flats.
The client needed the capital to complete the purchase of the building as well as help towards the costs of converting the premises into residential units.
What was needed?
Our client was looking to purchase an office building in Reading in order to redevelop it and convert it into 69 flats, as well as a further 45 flats in the roof space over two floors.
The client had money towards the project but needed further capital in order to cover the cost of development over a longer period whilst the works were completed.
What was needed?
Our client needed a longer term finance arrangement for some unsold properties on a development they had completed, and their previous finance arrangement had come to an end.
Having completed the development but been unable to sell the remaining units before their previous finance completed, our client needed to re-arrange the finance on these units as soon as possible.
What was needed?
Our client in Surbiton needed to re-arrange their finance when they weren’t able to sell 5 apartments and a freehold from a development of 46 residential and 3 commercial units.
Their previous finance arrangement had come to an end and they needed to re-negotiate the finance on the remaining units.
What was needed?
Our client needed to borrow a substantial amount in order to redeem a bridge loan that they’d used and then convert office space into 40 residential units and an extra floor for a further 10 residential units.
What was needed?
Our client was looking to purchase an office block that they intended to convert into 40 apartments, with the client also gaining planning permission for an extra floor with an additional 10 apartments.
The client needed capital to be able to complete the purchase, and needed it in the short term to be able to complete the purchase and the development of the building.
