Summary
A Family Office client was purchasing the leasehold of a shopping centre in London, in close proximity of both Underground and Overground stations. The retail, hotel and car park assets made up a commercial portfolio valued at £25m.
100% of the units were let to strong national retailers and the long WAULT to break meant a 10-15 year term could be considered. They were seeking maximum LTV that could be achieved at “senior” finance pricing with low initial amortisation.
We successfully leveraged the leasehold at 70% LTV at sub 250 bps. The15 year facility compared favourably to the client's existing offer of a highly amortising, 5-year term loan at just 55% LTV.
