HFBS was contacted by a broker — whose client had an existing bridging loan account due to go into default — looking for a solution to the problem.
The lender viewed the works at the development and found the works to be well progressed.
It then advanced the loan, which gave the developer a further 12 months to complete a sale.

“Due to unforeseen delays in the building project the developer was heading for a horrific default rate, and hefty fees,” said Ian Broadbent, director at HFBS (pictured above).
“He was almost there with the property development, but required peace of mind [that] he wouldn’t be increasing his debt to an unmanageable level.
“There was also the additional requirement of an additional £9,000 to complete minor works and prepare the property for sale.”
