Funding to Convert an Old Agricultural Barn into 2 Contemporary Houses
Funded: £641,000
Location: Welford, Northampton
Property Type: Residential
Funds For: Conversion
Timeframe: Client Deadline

Our client, an experienced developer, came to us requesting funds to convert a large agricultural barn into 2 stunning contemporary modern homes. 

The client had purchased the barn with planning permission to turn it into two semi-detached, four bedroom houses.

A highly skilled developer working with experienced local tradesmen, they had previously built a number of properties from the ground up in the local area.

They had initially funded the development with their own money, however after their previous lender pulled out, they needed to release more capital in order to complete the build.

Lowry Capital provided £641,000 towards the development of the property across multiple drawdowns and through our streamlined lending process, the client was able to quickly complete the rest of the build to the highest standard. 

The properties were put on the market for £1,500,000 (£750,000 each) and the client had accepted an offer within days, and is now set to make a healthy profit

These unique properties are 2 perfect examples of quality modern barn conversions, complete with 2478 sq ft of floor space, open plan living and underfloor heating.
