A client approached us looking for funding for a part-built property development in Preston. Planning was in place for 7x five bedroom houses, which were well sized and located within the area.
The client had funded the build up until the point of enquiry, but was running out of funds and didn’t want to put a stop to construction.
Although the client was fairly new to property development, he had a strong history of project management and a number of transferable skills. On top of this, works to this point were well documented.
Lenders are often put off by part-built developments, due to lack of control over the works that have already been completed, so the client contacted us to put his case across.
