The Scenario

A US investor with experience in the UK property market sought options for purchasing a vacant semi-commercial property at auction. The property had planning permission already granted for six additional residential units.

The borrower had terms with a well-known lender but was let down halfway through the process to completion. As the property was an auction purchase, there was a tight deadline remaining to complete without the borrower incurring a penalty and potentially losing their deposit.

Inflow obtained a re-type of the existing valuation and quickly picked up the case. The team familiarised itself with the borrower and their plans, enabling completion within the timeframe. The smooth transition the Inflow team undertook left such a lasting impression on the borrower that they’ve since referred Inflow to other borrowers.

Key Highlights

  • Inflow was able to adopt a loan halfway through its process to completion
  • Swift and knowledgeable team dealt with a foreign investor living abroad
  • Inflow quickly understood the loan requirements and rescued the auction purchase
