HFBS was approached by a successful property developer and experienced builder who needed the funding to complete the internal fixings and decoration of a Scandinavian prefabricated four-bedroom detached home.

“The client had purchased a plot of land for £60,000 as an investment,” said Dan Yendall-Collings, senior underwriter at HFBS (pictured above).

“He paid cash for the land and bought a Scandinavian prefabricated house online for £30,000.

“The site went from bare land to a fully watertight building in just two days.

“However, the internal completion stalled due to the client’s previous channel of development funding pulling out of the market.

“We were approached for a net loan of £30,000 required to complete the internal fixings and decoration.”

The lender carried out a full valuation at the site, which it valued at £150,000, with an end valuation of £375,000 upon completion of the development.

Dan continued: “Given the valuation, we were happy to provide funding where other lenders were not.

“We had the deal done from application to transfer of funds within seven days.”
