Acre Lane Capital has announced that it has completed a development exit bridge loan for a recently refurbished residential property in Hertfordshire, enabling the borrower to unlock £360,000 in working capital to reinvest into their next acquisition.

The facility was offered at a 9% interest rate, and once legal searches were returned, the loan was completed in just three business days, highlighting the lender’s ability to act quickly and decisively when a deal is ready to move.

The borrower had self-funded the refurbishment of the property, which had recently been brought to market. With all works complete and no finance attached to the asset, they were seeking a strategic short-term facility to release equity while allowing the freedom to sell or refinance on their own timeline.

Acre Lane Capital structured the facility to meet both goals: providing the flexibility to exit the scheme on the borrower’s timeline, while simultaneously raising funds against the completed asset to move swiftly into their next project.

"This is exactly the kind of deal we love supporting—an experienced borrower with a strong asset, clear plan, and a need for speed," explained Acre Lane Capital BDM, Amir Khan.

He added, "We were able to step in quickly, offer a market-leading rate, and raise capital to keep their momentum going. Once the searches came in, we had the deal over the line in three business days. It’s a great example of how we back our borrowers when timing really matters."
