Inspired Lending has provided a £2.4m bridging facility to support the acquisition of a vacant commercial building on an industrial site in Essex, enabling the borrower to secure the property ahead of competing buyers.
The borrower purchased the site for £4.95m through their business’s pension fund, with plans to relocate their wider business operations to the new premises before refinancing onto a long-term facility to repay the bridging loan.
To facilitate a swift transaction, Inspired Lending utilised a desktop valuation, significantly reducing both costs and the time required for assessment. This enabled the borrower to complete the purchase quickly, ensuring they could seize the opportunity before other interested parties.
Inspired Lending’s tailored short-term finance solutions are designed to support commercial borrowers in securing strategic property acquisitions with speed and efficiency.
“This transaction demonstrates our ability to move quickly and structure solutions that align with our borrowers’ objectives," explained Gavin Diamond, CEO of Inspired Lending, "By using a desktop valuation, we were able to reduce costs and expedite the process, enabling our client to complete their purchase ahead of competing bidders.
