Case Study
Mixed-use property — completed in 8 weeks.
A client came to us to purchase a mixed-use property — a retail unit with two flats above. Many lenders won't touch semi-commercial cases, but we identified a specialist commercial lender comfortable with the structure and presented the application correctly. The £650,000 purchase completed at 70% LTV within eight weeks.

To completion
"We needed funding to buy the industrial unit our business had been renting for years, and our own bank kept dragging its feet. Option Finance understood exactly how to structure the deal, brought in a lender who got commercial property, and made the whole thing straightforward. Genuinely impressed."
