Aspen launches light development product and ups maximum loan size

Covering residential conversion schemes, finish and exit projects, structural works and extensions plus lighter refurbishments, the new light development product is available up to 75% LTV with 100% cost of works in arrears.

Available from 0.84% per month on the lender’s flat rate or from 0.49% initial on its stepped rate across 12-18 months, it is open to UK and overseas applicants, either individuals or corporates, for properties across England and Wales.

Jack Coombs, director at Aspen Bridging, said: “We are excited about the light development product, which will help meet the needs of UK developers by filling a genuine funding gap for smaller to mid-sized heavy works and conversions projects, as well as stepping in to help complete new build developments.

“Further raising the max loan size to £5m net is an additional signal to introducers of our growing appetite to lend across all our product ranges.

“Despite lockdowns we are fully set-up for remote working and able to utilise physical and desktop valuations, offering integrated legal representation, video signature processes and same-day pay-out facilities to complete deals quickly and efficiently. We intend to hit the ground running in 2021.”
