Development Funding for the Conversion of a Former Hotel into Flats

Funded: £1,550,000

Location: Ashbourne, Derbyshire

Property Type: Commercial

Funds For: Conversion

Timeframe: Clients Deadline

Our clients owned a beautiful, period property in Derbyshire and had run it successfully as a hotel for many years.

The owners obtained planning permission to convert the building into six, luxury two-bedroom apartments. However, funding was required quickly to pay off an existing lender and carry out the work.

In addition to the poor internal condition of the building, the clients were also inexperienced in property development. They did, however, have a team of experienced property professionals in place and a credible development plan.

Lowry Capital took a commercial view and have now provided funding to date of £1,550,000 in 12 drawdowns with the client drawing what’s needed in line with the schedule of work.

The property conversion has progressed significantly, and the apartments have been done to a very high specification. The demand for the finished apartments has proved strong and the clients are in line for a Heathy profit on their 1st development.

The properties have a GDV of £3.180m
