This situation may not seem out of the ordinary at first glance. An 18 property portfolio valued in excess of £10m isn’t unusual, but the circumstances around the refinance made this a very complex deal. Case studies like this demonstrate how advisers at Arc & Co differentiate from their competitors. Daire Dowling, Managing Director of Arc & Co. Private Finance went well beyond what was expected and explains below why this was such an unusual case.
“The client wished to raise £6.3m against their £10.5m property portfolio in central London. Historic issues with rent, HMO licencing and planning made presenting the file to prospective lenders difficult. I worked closely with the clients tax advisers to switch the portfolio from a partnership to a Ltd company. This allowed the portfolio to be as efficient as possible. Once the new company was setup a full transfer was carried out with clearance from HMRC, in writing, that a stamp duty exemption would be allowed for the transfer of the assets. We then presented the client with a sharia compliant loan ,due to historic income being low, on a 5 year fixed rate at 4.3%.”
