Commercial premises – Release of Equity
Facility:
£870,000
Property:
Single storey former school building
Project:
Release of equity to support The London School for Children with Cerebral Palsy facing closure due to lost funding during the pandemic.
Challenge:
Urgent need for fast cash to retain staff. Selling the property quickly would have resulted in significant undervaluation due to legal complexities involving the council. Additionally, lending against charitable property poses reputational risks for lenders.
Our Solution:
Bridgepark Capital’s bridge loan provided the necessary funds rapidly, preventing closure and ensuring staff retention. The flexible facility, including rolling interest, offered a safety net beyond immediate needs, avoiding additional legal costs for further draws if required.

Property:

Our Solution:
Bridgepark Capital delivered rapid funding within four weeks, enabling our client to seize this unique opportunity and proceed with the HMO conversion.
