Funding to Convert a Grade II Listed Fish & Chip Shop into 2 Houses

Funded: £233,000
Location: Ripon
Property Type: Commercial to Residential
Funds For: Conversion
Timeframe: 3 Weeks

Our client an experienced property developer, had purchased a Grade II listed Fish & Chip Shop and had obtained planning permission to convert it into two residential properties.

The property comprises two mid-terrace former residential dwellings that are now interconnected and was recently utilised as a fish and chip shop and restaurant.

Although it is the first time this developer has converted a commercial building into a residential one, they had extensive experience building and converting residential properties so Lowry Capital was happy to lend as the project made sense to us.

Lowry Capital Funded £233,000 across 4 tranches for the development of the property.

The final result is a high-quality conversion of the former commercial unit into two attractive residential homes, completed to a superb standard.

One unit has been sold, generating a strong profit, while the other is retained as a rental, providing ongoing income, another great example of how our flexible, multi tranche funding supports developers through unique projects in historic listed buildings.
