Inhale Capital completes £980k bridging loan to support Norfolk venue expansion

Specialist lender Inhale Capital has completed a £980,000 gross loan to refinance and support the continued growth of a hospitality and events venue in Norfolk.

The facility was secured against a large-scale barn conversion set within approximately 20 acres in Gresham, currently operating as a short-stay holiday-let and wedding venue.

The borrower sought to release equity from the property to consolidate existing borrowing while funding further expansion of the business.

With a clear growth strategy already in place and tight timelines to meet, the transaction required a lender capable of delivering both speed and flexibility.

Inhale Capital structured a solution to meet these requirements, enabling the borrower to move forward with confidence and without delay.

Rob Goodall, CEO of Inhale Capital commented:

“This was a classic example of where bridging finance adds real value.

The borrower had a strong asset and a clear plan for growth but needed a solution that could be delivered quickly and without unnecessary friction.

Our ability to act decisively and manage key parts of the process in-house meant we could provide the certainty and speed required.”

A key component of the transaction was Inhale Capital’s in-house valuation capability, which removed the need for third-party reporting and significantly accelerated the deal timeline.

Rob added:

“By undertaking the valuation internally, we were able to streamline the process and maintain full control over timescales. In situations like this, where timing is critical, that can make all the difference.”

Ashley Elkin of Approved Finance Group praised the lender’s approach, highlighting the efficiency and clarity of communication throughout the process.

“Absolutely fantastic. Very quick lines of communication, quick procedures and decision making, and an incredibly straightforward process,”.

Ashley continued:

“Inhale reminds me of a bygone era of bridging where decisions are quick, processes are quicker, and you can actually get deals over the line in weeks and not months.”

This latest deal underscores Inhale Capital’s focus on supporting borrowers with time-sensitive requirements, particularly where traditional lending processes may prove too slow or inflexible.
