The funding supported the acquisition of a strategically located semi-commercial asset in Birmingham, giving the borrower the flexibility and speed required to purchase the property prior to setting up development finance to undertake the proposed conversion works. The borrower plans to transform a former office building into a high-quality residential block of flats comprising 75 apartments, including 42 x 1-bedroom and 33 x 2-bedroom units. Full planning permission has already been obtained before completion, enabling the borrower to move forward with the next phase of the project.
