Bridging Loan

Bridging Loan

A bridge against a property in Alderney to provide funds towards furnishing a property in Florida, USA.

The Borrower was a property developer that lived between the Channel Islands, the UK and the USA and he owned titles on 10 properties/land across all three jurisdictions.

This was the second bridging loan the Borrower had taken with Sancus, the first one being in 2019 which was used to repay existing debt on property in the USA.

The loan was repaid through proceeds of sale on the property in Florida.

Development Loan

Development Loan

The developer, a long standing, repeat borrower with Sancus had an impeccable track record in terms of servicing and repayment of previous loans with Sancus.

The loan was used to assist with the purchase of a portfolio of 33 properties, the majority being residential units of between 1 and 4 bedrooms.

The properties, though mainly tenanted were in need of some cosmetic updating.

The developer planned to work on the properties over a two year period to ensure the rent continued to be received to service the interest, terminating the leases on circa 5 properties at a time, refurbishing them and then selling on.

ā€œI have been using Sancus for bridging and development finance on a number of projects for several years now. I have closed on transactions in less than 2 weeks, giving me an advantage when purchasing properties. The terms are flexible and they will take part repayments or full repayment without substantial penalties.ā€
