Commercial Mortgage Refinance Case Study: £2.1m for Retirement / Independent Living Flats

Positive Commercial Finance excels at commercial mortgage refinance solutions, especially when exiting development finance on retirement or sheltered housing schemes. This case study shows how we successfully refinanced 14 flats for elderly independent living.
The Challenge
The client had completed a 23-flat development designed for independent living for elderly people. Nine flats sold privately, but the remaining 14 needed refinancing to repay the existing development finance facility. They needed to raise £1.5 million against flats valued at approximately £2.5 million. At the eleventh hour, a deal to sell the final three flats fell through, threatening the entire refinance.
Our Solution
We arranged a commercial mortgage with a high-street bank. When the sales collapsed, we quickly renegotiated with the lender, who increased their offer to £2.1 million. This enabled the client to fully refinance the project on time and discharge all liabilities.Strong lender relationships were key — the bank understood the changing nature of property deals and responded flexibly to a sensible proposal.
Deal Structure

  • Loan to Value (LTV): 60%
  • Interest Rate: 3% above 3-month Libor
  • Arrangement Fee: 1%
  • Exit Fee: None
  • Term: 20 years
The Outcome
The client successfully refinanced the entire remaining portfolio, repaid the development loan, and moved forward with a stable, long-term commercial mortgage. The project was completed on time despite the last-minute setback.
