THE PROCESS
Whilst the 4 products above have different purposes, our lending process is very similar.
We have progressed from initial discussions with a borrower to drawing down funds in as little as 2 weeks, though typically the process from initial enquiry to drawdown is on average c. 5-8 weeks.
We would emphasise that we are as quick as the borrower, and if good information is provided with motivated solicitors, we will be very prompt.
