LendInvest has completed a £3.062m regulated bridging loan in 25 working days, enabling an experienced investor to refinance their primary residence and raise capital to expand their property portfolio.
The facility was structured at 70% LTV on a 12-month term and required a rapid turnaround to meet a complex set of requirements, including the consolidation of existing debt and a significant equity transfer. The exit strategy centred on the sale of the borrower's original home, with LendInvest's underwriting approach focused on the borrower's experience and the clarity of that exit route.
By keeping attention on those fundamentals, the lender's dedicated bridging team moved the case from inquiry to drawdown within 25 working days. The transaction demonstrates how regulated bridging can function as a tool for equity release and property acquisition, rather than simply a short-term funding fix.
"This £3 million deal is a great example of how regulated bridging has evolved into a sophisticated strategic tool, and how specialist lenders like LendInvest can be the ideal lending partner when complex cases are presented," said Leanne Ardron, managing director of short-term lending at LendInvest.
"By prioritising common-sense underwriting and speed, we were able to deliver a solution in only 25 working days. At LendInvest, our goal is to simplify the process for brokers and their clients, proving that, even at high loan volumes, we can maintain the agility required in today's fast-moving property market."
