A light refurbishment product has been launched by Cheval Property Finance plc that targets experienced property professionals looking to unlock value from residential property purchases.
Landlords or developers can obtain the lower of 70% of market value or purchase price on an unimproved property, and then secure up to 100% of the refurbishment costs. Most building work is permitted, with the exception of structural work requiring planning permission or building approval. The interest rate is 1.5% per month .
Mark Posniak, Director of Sales and Marketing at Cheval, said: "This is a fantastic product and currently one of the few of its type available. It enables refurbishment work to be carried out on a property to boost its value and then the customer can either sell the asset or refinance. For those purchasing a property with unrealised value this is an ideal product to unlock value."Â
The light refurbishment product is available for residential property that requires refurbishment expenditure of up to a maximum of 10% of the purchase price.
The refurbishment launch forms part of a range of product changes that the leading bridging lender announced this week.
The Cheval Closed Bridge product is being renamed to "Same Day Bridge" with legal fees reduced to £400 + VAT and disbursements. The leading 0.85% per month interest rate remains unchanged.
