When our client approached us, they was facing a tough situation. They owned a property that was halfway through a refurbishment, but had recently purchased a derelict property as well. Despite their enthusiasm for the projects, they found that they did not have the necessary cashflow to refinance or complete either of them.


To make matters worse, they had a County Court Judgement (CCJ) on their record, which made it even more difficult for them to secure financing.


Our client was in danger of being stuck with two properties that they couldn't afford to finish, making no income from either of them.


That's where Stephen from Willow Private Finance came in.


The team at Willow knew that our client was a skilled and ambitious property developer, and were determined to help them succeed. They worked with them to understand their needs and came up with a solution: a bridging loan at a rate of 0.8% per month, with a £3,200 arrangement fee. The loan would give our client the financial support they needed to complete the renovations on both properties and arrange exit finance.


But Stephen and the team didn't just stop there.


Stephen also worked with our client to come up with a plan to satisfy their CCJ and get them back on track. Thanks to Stephen's help, they were able to complete the renovations and let out the properties, finally starting to earn an income from them.


In just four working days, Willow Private Finance was able to provide them with the financial support they needed to turn their property dreams into a reality. Stephen's flexible and timely approach made all the difference, and they is now well on their way to building a successful property development business.
