Care home short-term funding solution

Article by Chris Oatway Co-Chief Executive Officer

What was the situation?

The client had discussed the requirement with a few short-term finance brokers previously with no success. Many funders have restricted appetite when it comes to the care home market, making it challenging to secure a ‘going concern’ valuation which was necessary to enable us to secure the leverage required.

Funding requirement: £24.7 million gross loan

Value: £42 million

Term required: Three-year term

What was the issue?

The client had discussed the requirement with a few short-term finance brokers previously with no success. Many funders have restricted appetite when it comes to the care home market which proved challenging to get secure a ‘going concern’ valuation which was necessary to enable us to secure the leverage required.

What was the process?

We managed to source a very competitive rate from a lender by providing a thorough presentation to satisfy the client’s requirements through knowledge, expertise, and the right connections. With this we were able to create a bespoke facility agreement which enabled the client to repay large sums when required if they entered into a sale and lease back agreement.

What was the solution?

We secured finance at 6.85% p.a. on a fixed rate for three years which had the flexibility of reducing the loan to £10 million within the first two years and then is fully flexible in the third year.

Completion

April 2026

My fiancée and I were recommended to LDN Finance when we started our mortgage journey, and the service we have received, and continue to receive, has been outstanding throughout. Phil Levesley initially looked after us and made what can be a very daunting process feel straightforward and easy to understand. He took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. As part of the process, we also wanted to explore a number of protection policies, and Phil introduced us to his colleague,

Owen was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way throughout the mortgage process. He was always clear, patient, and incredibly reassuring, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them both. Five stars without hesitation.
