The Challenge:

A long-standing client approached Glenhawk looking to refinance existing debt and unlock additional funds for their next buy-to-let investment.

Their financial position had recently strengthened following an increase in income, but they needed a lender that could act quickly while their accounts were being finalised.

The asset? A 31-bedroom, owner-operated hotel in prime condition, valued at £6.4 million. Timing was critical — the client needed liquidity to clear existing liabilities and complete on a new BTL purchase.

The Solution:

Glenhawk delivered a £3.84 million bridging loan at 0.94% per month over an 18-month term.

Working closely with the client’s accountants and legal team, we structured a solution that provided immediate capital while aligning with their long-term mortgage goals. The facility allowed the client to refinance efficiently and move forward with their acquisition - without disrupting their trading business.

The Outcome:

Completion took place within just six days of receiving the valuation report. The client was able to:

Settle existing commitments
Secure a new investment property
Prepare for transition to a term mortgage

The 18-month term gave breathing space for financial planning while maximising returns - another example of how Glenhawk delivers structured, strategic bridging finance when it matters most.
