Featured Snippet: Articus Finance structured 70% LTV commercial property finance for UK doctor, delivering a £545,000 facility against a £780,000 office acquisition. This secured ownership, eliminated costly rent, and unlocked long-term business expansion opportunities.
Introduction
Securing 70% LTV commercial property finance for UK doctor required deep lender insight and tailored structuring. Many self-employed professionals face restrictive business growth due to escalating rent. By transitioning from lease obligations to ownership, Articus Finance enabled our client to achieve independence, reduce costs, and invest into a long-term appreciating asset.
Client Background
The client, a British psychologist managing a growing practice, was frustrated by the drain of continuous rental costs. Although revenues were strong, rental overheads placed a ceiling on profitability and reinvestment potential. Instead, ownership would allow him to redirect outflows into wealth creation.
- Client Profile: UK-based psychologist, British national.
- Objective: Acquire commercial property to expand practice and strengthen financial resilience.
- Property Value: £780,000 office premises in a prime location.
- Requirement: 70% LTV finance to preserve cashflow and capital for business reinvestment.
Without access to competitive leverage, the doctor risked allocating excessive equity upfront or accepting constrictive finance which could strain balance sheet liquidity. A carefully designed funding solution was essential.
The Challenge – 70% LTV Commercial Property Finance for UK Doctor
Delivering 70% LTV commercial property finance for UK doctor required addressing several hurdles:
- Medical-sector profile: Lenders often pigeonhole self-employed professionals, despite reliable revenue streams.
- High leverage expectations: Achieving 70% LTV necessitated deep market access beyond mainstream banks.
- Transition modelling: Ensuring that debt service compared favourably to rental commitments required robust scenario testing.
- Market constraints: Fewer lenders extend high-LTV facilities in the commercial sector, demanding specialist introduction.
Absent a structured approach, the client could have lost out on leverage, liquidity, or cost efficiency.
