By Bridging Loan Directory 2nd July 2020

Aspen Bridging has completed a £1.2m residential bridging loan for a British Virgin Islands (BVI) company which commenced a debt restructuring programme just prior to the coronavirus outbreak.

The loan, which was completed at a rate of 0.89% pm flat rate with no exit fees over 12 months, was secured on a penthouse in the prestigious Pan Peninsula development in the City of London using the lender’s desktop valuations system.

The client, an experienced foreign businessman, required a quick turnaround to ensure the cashflow of his businesses was maintained during the uncertain period.

Continuing the practice of one underwriter per case, Credit Manager Harry Baker took the application from start-to-finish.

The lender met all Time-Based Service Excellence Targets with a fully-costed quote issued in the first 15 minutes and a submitted post-search DIP in one hour. Legals and valuations were instructed within 30 minutes with enquiries and undertaking received same day.

Meetings with the client were undertaken by Facetime and Aspen’s legal partners were able to progress matters quickly, seamlessly working with a third-party legal team to provide the required legal opinion on the BVI Company.

Jack Coombs, Director, Aspen Bridging said:
