Aspen completes £2.5m bridge in three days

Aspen completed a £2.5m residential bridge in just three days, with the borrower having two reasons to celebrate having also got married on the day of drawdown.

While finishing the redevelopment of a six-bedroom terraced family home in Fulham, the applicant’s project was significantly delayed due to underpinning works on a neighbour’s house which meant the existing credit line was coming to an end.

The deal was completed on Aspen’s Stepped Rate, starting at 0.65% per month over 10 months.

In line with the lender’s one-person per-case customer service commitment, the deal was taken from start to finish by senior underwriter, Richard Tweddell.

Ian Miller-Hawes, sales director at Aspen Bridging, said: “This is bridging as a true financial solution to a problem that was completely outside the developer’s control.

“The fact we could turn the application around in three days, allowing the borrower to head off on honeymoon with their money issues resolved, truly is the icing on the cake.”
