Aspen Bridging has helped an American foreign-national secure their latest high-end London investment property with a £1.75m, ‘no valuation’ facility completed in 14 days.
The client required immediate resolution to secure their £7.5m purchase of the 3,028 square foot, four-bedroom luxury apartment in Kensington, which is set over three floors within a Victorian red-brick semi-detached mansion and includes multiple reception rooms and a multi-tiered private garden.
Underwriting was completed in a week using Aspen’s No Valuation bridge, which removes the need for physical inspection to speed up the loan process.
In tandem the lender utilised its bespoke remote signing and witnessing agreements for international clients to ensure the funds were available on the exact day required.
The deal, written on Aspen’s flat rate of 0.89%, was managed by Aspen’s underwriting manager, Saif Khalique. Exit on this 25% LTV deal will be realised via refinance onto a buy-to-let mortgage.
Perminder Ghataore of Finance House Solutions said: “Thanks to Aspen’s non-valuation product we managed to secure a short-term lend for our UHNW client on very short notice with underwriting completed within a week and full completion delivered on the day required.
“From Initial Review with Ian Miller-Hawes through to underwriting and completion with Saif Khalique we received excellent service, great communication and delivery.”
