The client is borrowing £7.5m on a first charge where only £5m is being advanced, and the remaining £2.5m is being held in the solicitor's client account. The site is regarded as the principal film studio in South Wales - at a time of unprecedented demand for UK film studios. 

The site has full planning permission for its existing five studio buildings and has pending applications for other buildings recently built. Since the original purchase, the borrower has invested c.£3.0m to further improve the site.

This first charge loan has an LTV of just over 50%, a rate of 1.25% per month and is for 6 months.

The client is purchasing a vacant building that is arranged as a restaurant on the ground floor with a six room HMO on the upper two floors. The loan required was on a first charge commercial basis for £525,000.

Planning has been granted for rear extensions to the first floor and rearrangement to two studio units. The client intends to submit planning for a two bedroom mews house to the rear. His exit strategy is refinancing. 

There is good precedent for this being a number of neighbouring properties having already completed mews houses along Pembroke Place. With an LTV of 70% and a rate of 1.00% per month this loan is against a robust security with good added value opportunities.

The client needed a loan of £2,490,000 on a newly constructed building of five residential units over three floors. The borrower (who is also the developer) is refinancing out of development finance to allow him time to sell two of the flats and tenant the three remaining flats with a view to then refinancing TAB through traditional BTL finance and flat sales. The loan was 1.00% interest per month at an LTV of 70% for 9 months secured with a first charge.

TAB completes our first deal with Brightstar Specialist Finance, a 9 month land with planning bridging loan. The loan is required for the refinance from their existing lender as the borrower was let down by their development funder and needed additional time to secure a new loan in place and finalise their contract with the local housing association. The land has planning for houses and apartments and is on a site in Devon. The £454,000 loan was funded by TAB investors and has an LTV of 54%.

The client required a £1.25m first charge bridging loan to complete the purchase of a vacant former Debenhams department store, under a 43 year lease where the freeholder is Sheffield City Council.

An existing client of TAB’s needed £3,250,000 first charge residential loan to raise capital for funds for further investments. The property was a four bedroom penthouse apartment forming part of a modern residential development. The client’s exit strategy was to refinance the property, the LTV was 53% and TAB agreed terms at 1.00% interest per month, for 12 months.

The client required a £352,000 first charge commercial loan to purchase two commercial warehouses for the clients’ business to occupy. The client will refinance to a commercial mortgage once company accounts have been submitted as his exit strategy. The client needed to complete quickly and TAB provided the loan at 1.00% per month for 12 months.

The client required a second charge residential loan of £380,000 for 12 months to refinance an existing bridge allowing sufficient time to establish an exit plan. A condition attached to the exit, in this case, waws that the property must be marketed by month six of the term to allow sufficient time to redeem. The LTV was 60% charged at 1.00% interest per month.

The client required £2,480,000 first charge land with planning loan for 12 months. The property is a site with planning permission which they were able to purchase below value due to a distressed sale. Due to the sensitive time scales the client required a bridge loan to purchase rather than going straight to development funding. The LTV was 59% and the exit is via development finance.

The client required £1,000,000 first charge commercial loan to purchase the leasehold of the security which was granted by way of an underlease, i.e landlord under the terms of the lease holds a 999 year lease. TAB provided the loan at LTV of 40% with a 0.95% interest rate per month for 6 months. The borrower required fast completion, and TAB completed within two weeks.
