Aspen’s Success in the High-End London Property Market

Aspen, a lender that became prominent in the high-end London property market in 2023, completed a Development Exit loan valued at £3,650,000 at a 70% Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. This loan supports a luxuriously updated three-bedroom duplex in Belgravia, allowing the developer extra time to sell the property which is currently being negotiated.

The Development Exit loan is structured with a Stepped Rate starting at 0.65% monthly over a 10-month term.

Meanwhile, close by in Chelsea, Aspen provided a Refurbishment bridge of £2,470,000 to an additional developer. This includes an initial £1,900,000 with an additional £570,000 allocated for the renovation and expansion of a four-bedroom, four-story Victorian terrace, which is set to feature a full loft conversion and side extension.

“Aspen’s recent transactions demonstrate their deep understanding of this sector and their ability to consistently provide flexible financial solutions throughout the development cycle.”

This Chelsea project’s financial arrangement is at a 75% LTV with a fixed monthly rate of 0.95% over a year, aiming for completion through property sale.

Apart from these ventures, Aspen has finalized a Finish & Exit bridge for a substantial £6 million at 75% LTV on a large Georgian stucco residence in Kensington. Another notable funding was a £7,150,000 Refurbishment bridge on a prestigious redevelopment project located in central Belgravia.

Rory Cleary, Head of Sales at Aspen Bridging, said: “In my initial weeks, it’s been stimulating to observe the variety and magnitude of closed deals, ranging from luxurious individual homes in West London to larger multi-residence setups and even modest single-unit projects.

“These recent deals are a testament to Aspen’s proficiency in the marketplace and their ability to provide continual financial support for various stages of property development.

“Our company boasts a remarkable portfolio of loans and a dedicated team that excels in delivering top-notch services and expertise. My role is to further these achievements and ensure that Aspen is the preferred choice for developers seeking reliable bridging loans for their worthwhile endeavours.”
