The 12-month facility was agreed at 70% LTV on a rate of 0.64%.

Tom Berry, asset finance adviser at Arc & Co (pictured above), said: “The speed and diligence Catalyst gave towards the case was great.
“They picked up this deal, which had a tight turnaround time, and were able to complete in a four-week period.”
Josh Hawker, relationship manager at Catalyst Property Finance, added: “It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Arc & Co on this loan.
“The client was an extremely successful property developer, but the case presented some complexities and required a speedy turnaround to funding.
“I have to say, Tom is one of the most hands-on brokers we work with; we spoke daily and, working with our amazing credit analyst, James Parnall, we were able to provide the client with the required funding within four weeks — a great team effort!”
