Securing an interest only loan against occupied student accommodation
What was the situation?
As experts in specialist property finance, we’re no strangers to sourcing funding for property development of all sizes.
Our existing client approached us to secure finance against a student accommodation investment finance deal in the midlands, for a recently completed development of 65 units. The client was looking to hold the asset and had fully let all units.
To do this, they required 70% Loan To Value (LTV) against a £7 million valuation.
The client was cost conscious and despite securing terms, wanted to see if we could beat them and turn the deal around quickly!
What was the issue?
Time was against us due to the tight timeframe surrounding the existing development facility term that was coming to an end. The client wanted to maximise the monthly net rental income and as such, needed as much of the loan to be on interest only as possible. He also wanted the security of a 5 year fixed rate.
What was the process?
I knew that to source funding, we needed to demonstrate the strengths of the deal. Through creating a comprehensive presentation, I was able to negotiate market leading rates at the leverage required.
We have a long-lasting relationship with the lender so I knew we could rely on them to ensure the case would be managed well, with high levels of communication throughout.
What was the solution?
The client was delighted that we were able to secure a 4.25% fixed rate, with a 1.5% arrangement fee; nearly 90% of the loan as interest only and the rest on capital repayment. We successfully hit the target completion timeframe and as a result, they were highly satisfied with the level of service by both LDN Finance and the lender. Working together as a team, we were proud to secure excellent terms as desired by the client.

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. Bharathy was also really helpful, promptly getting in touch and making sure all the relevant information was handled efficiently. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them both. Five stars without hesitation.
