Client wishes to raise 960k on a a SW1 residential Freehold value of 1660k, for period of 8 weeks.

Answer

This is the sort of loan that Drawbridge would look to do.  The property is in a good area and the loan to value is absolutely fine.  Subject to there being no issues with the borrower, Drawbridge would be able to complete this very quickly.

I have a client who wishes to raise £150k on an N16 property valued at ~£650k, about to be let for min £2k pm (maybe as much as £2.5k+) for business working capital, repayable in 6 months,(12 months max) preferable with interest rolled up. Doable?

Answer

You do not say whether the property is residential, semi commercial or commercial. If the former two, then on the face of it you should have no problems raising the finance required as there is plenty of equity available. However, all responsible bridging lenders will want to be assured that there is a viable exit strategy by which they will be repaid. If the property is a purely commercial, then your options as to lenders will be more limited.

Dear Bridge Doctor, I have a client resident in Dubai. He has a UK bank account in Jersey. He is paid abroad and needs only £50k based on a property valued at £1.2m unencumbered. Does anyone know who might be interested?

Answer

The main question would be if the client is a UK resident. If not, the legals could get fairly complicated, but there would be a few lenders willing to do this based on the other facts. I am assuming that the property is in the UK? Other questions that will need to be answered are if it is a purchase or just a cash raise and how the client intends to repay the bridge?
