Inspired Lending funds £1.3m complex portfolio restructure

By Bridging Loan Directory 15th August 2024

Inspired Lending has provided a 6-month bridging loan facility of £1.3m secured against multiple properties at a LTV of 68%.

The loan facilitated a complex refinancing and restructuring of the borrower’s portfolio.

The loan allowed the borrowers to repay existing borrowings and move their properties from personal names into a corporate structure. This also freed up other portfolio properties for development projects.

The transaction was not straight-forward as it involved multiple lenders and had several legal challenges to overcome.

However, Inspired Lending’s experience, flexibility and pragmatic approach enabled them to comfortably meet the borrower’s deadline.

With the properties now in a new corporate vehicle, the borrower will obtain refinance to repay their bridging loan.

The bridging finance provider launched in England and Wales in November 2023 and has recently extended its offering north of the border.

Its range of unregulated bridging loans, refurbishment finance and bespoke short-term loans.

It offers loan facilities up to £5m secured against residential, commercial, semi-commercial and industrial properties.

Gavin Diamond, CEO, Inspired Lending, commented:

“The key to this case was to quickly understand all the challenges that were faced, so that a solution could be provided, and, in my experience, many lenders faced with some of the issues we came across would have walked away.

However, we knew it was a great deal, which included a client with a clear need and way to exit the facility safely and quickly.

Deals like this cement our belief in our proposition as a common-sense bridging lender, who are bringing bridging back to basics.”
