Your refurb, Your rules.

In the last 18 months with many challenges arising for ground up developments we have seen many move to refurbishment and conversion opportunities. These can range from simple internal reconfigurations to large commercial to residential conversions.

The Funding Gap Between Bridging and Development Loans

In a world known as the “Bridging and Development” space, many people are unaware that some lenders offer a specific product for these types of opportunities and often assume they can only obtain a bridge for light refurbishments or development loans for heavier schemes. Bridging schemes where works are required can mean the clients eat into their own cashflow to cover the build costs and development loans can often have a higher cost.

Hybrid Finance: A Better Solution for Refurbs and Conversions

Many lenders actually offer a specific product for these opportunities which can be perfectly placed between both a bridge and development loan. Most can offer the leverage, cost and speed of a bridge but also covering the costs associated with the works. A perfect hybrid product for many refurbishments or conversions.

Helping Clients Navigate Lender Criteria

The difficult part for many brokers and clients is the minefield of criteria often associated with these products. What is light, what is heavy. Structural or non-structural. What each lender will and won’t do is vastly different.

Understanding How Lenders Fund the Works

Another area where most lenders differ is how they fund the works. Generally, there are two options, one as a higher LTV bridge which can save costs as they don’t require an MS or the other with day one funds towards the purchase or refinance and then the build costs funded as drawdowns which can sometimes provide a higher loan overall although does require a higher cash injection from the client.
