Whitehall Capital closes £1.8m bridging loan after last-minute midnight push

Whitehall Capital has proved once again that it thrives under pressure, completing a £1.8 million bridging loan secured against two prime UK properties: a residential block in West Kensington and a four-star hotel in West Sussex.

The deal, arranged for a high-net-worth international entrepreneur, faced a last-minute valuation complication that threatened to derail completion.

In a remarkable show of commitment, Whitehall CEO Anthony Bodenstein personally stepped in, coordinating solicitors and stakeholders until 1:30am to get the deal over the line.

Business development manager Mehwish Mirza played a key role in escalating the issue swiftly, ensuring the full support of senior leadership.

Thanks to the team’s rapid response, the facility was finalised within 24 hours of the issue arising, preserving the borrower’s timeline and reinforcing Whitehall’s reputation for handling urgent, high-stakes deals.

“This is real lending,” said the broker. “Tell me another CEO who wakes up at midnight to save a deal, it’s unheard of.”

Oliver Foskett, COO at Whitehall Capital, added:

“This deal reflects everything we stand for, speed, flexibility, and a hands-on approach.

Whether it’s residential or commercial, we’re committed to delivering tailored funding, no matter how complex or time-sensitive.”
