In a notable transaction, Blue Shield Capital has successfully arranged a £3.37 million bridging loan, enabling a strategic acquisition of a residential portfolio in the Wembley and Harrow areas. This 12-month financing solution, boasting a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 75%, is poised to facilitate the client’s purchase of a series of flats, marking a significant restructure of its property holdings.

The operation was carried out with the expertise of Mountview Capital, acting as the broker for the deal. The clients, boasting over three decades of experience in managing diverse property types ranging from residential and commercial to student accommodations, are set to enhance their investment strategy. This strategy not only focuses on value addition but also encompasses entering into joint ventures to expand their presence in the UK and European real estate markets.

The exit strategy for this bridging loan involves refinancing with a long-term lender, as outlined by the borrowers. Jonathan Hitter, Chief Operating Officer at Blue Shield Capital, expressed satisfaction with the completion of this transaction, highlighting its complexity and the flexibility required from their team. He emphasized the firm’s dedication to providing quick and adaptable financing solutions to seasoned investors, underlining this deal as a testament to their commitment.

This financial move signals Blue Shield Capital’s continued influence and support within the property investment sector, facilitating significant portfolio growth and restructuring for experienced players in the market.
