Our assessment of a leasehold transaction is determined by the simple underwriting principle that the subject business must be able to comfortably service our monthly loan repayments from day one. Leasehold business surveyors are employed to investigate all businesses and we are guided by their findings on income and valuation in every transaction.

100% LOAN FACILITY We will always consider granting leasehold loans of up to 100% of the purchase price of either a leasehold or freehold business, provided we are offered suitable additional freehold/leasehold collateral security in a transaction. The leasehold business valuation report must indicate that the business can service the loan satisfactorily.

GENERAL CONDITIONS We assess all cases on their own individual merits and do not adhere to rigid underwriting criteria. We will always try to convert initially unacceptable cases into positive transactions by offering guidance and inventive assistance to our clients. We employ leasehold business surveyors to inspect all retail businesses and carry out the valuations on residential properties which are offered as collateral security in transactions.
