The Client

The client is an entrepreneurial ultra-high net worth individual.

The Property

A freehold detached house extending to 17,188 square feet with an in-door swimming pool located within a secure gated compound.

The Situation

The client was coming to the end of their term on an existing facility, but during the process of refinancing some unanticipated factors prevented them from being able to do so. They needed to find an immediate solution to meet a tight repayment deadline.

The Solution

West One are known for being able to accommodate large loan deals, especially in unique circumstances where speed and deliverability are essential. 

The team's rich industry experience played a vital role in getting this deal completed within the exceptionally tight deadline. To completely understand the deal, the risk team assessed the situation surrounding the client, their property and facility which required full repayment.

Once they were comfortable with the details, they worked with an underwriter who was experienced in navigating deals of this size through the process with incredibly tight deadlines.

They chose a highly experienced solicitor who they’d worked closely with before and who was an expert in arranging facilities of this size with short turnaround times.

The whole of the West One team worked closely together understanding the need for speed and their expertise, and they reassured the client throughout the process by keeping in constant touch with them.
