In August 2023 we teamed up with a local company in Dorset to help them add another floor to their mixed use building with our Heavy Refurbishment Loan
The property, built in 1970, is within walking distance of the beach and has been a popular choice for residents of Boscombe over recent years. As part of the client’s long-term rental strategy, the new floor will add a further six apartments to the property and add a communal garden roof-terrace. This will mean the entire property will consist of 16 homes and two commercial offices, used by local businesses.
From plans to reality
Our client took out a Heavy Refurbishment Development Loan with an LTV of 58% over a term of 15 months. This £2m loan has helped refinance another facility and will also cover the development costs for this project.
Adding another floor to an existing building is a complex job, so the company have opted to use an experienced contractor that are known to MSP Capital through previous clients.
Long-term thinking
This project began to help boost our client’s long-term rental potential. Therefore, the exit strategy for this development is not to sell and take the profit, but instead to refinance on to a long-term mortgage and then retain with their wider portfolio.
