Purchase to convert commercial asset into HMO, RH10

Client circumstances:

Our client required funds to complete the purchase of a commercial property, which they planned to convert into a house of multiple occupation (HMO). The vendor had set a specific timescale for completion, therefore the client needed to act quickly in order to capitalise on this valuable opportunity.

MT Finance solution:

MT Finance provided a first charge loan of £960,000 at 59% LTV, seven days before the client’s deadline. Interest was retained at 0.79% per month, over a 12-month term without exit fees or ERCs. We didn’t require any personal guarantees.

The benefits:

Our short-term loan meant the client was able to purchase the property before the set deadline. The client will exit the loan by arranging development finance to fund the HMO conversion.
