Loan Information & Observations
Borrower - J*** B*****
- Our borrower is a farmer that lives at the address indicated in the VR; he is also a local District Councillor
- There are several news articles regarding our borrower and the security
Loan
- The Borrower wants to purchase additional land on the W******** estate and then obtain planning permission.
Security
[/ul]- The main VR includes some "hope value" which SS are not attaching any value to and has retrieved a revised valuation which would have raised the LTV to 87.5%. As such, it seems additional security has been added to keep the LTV @ 70%
- The security forms two parts...
- FIRST PART
- The property comprises a range of former agricultural and more modern commercial buildings, with a new warehouse and office accommodation, all situated on circa 26 acres of land.
- To the front of the site is a 1930’s detached house - W******** Lodge and to the rear of the lodge is W********* Barn which is also a detached.
- Some of the former agricultural land is proposed to be the subject of residential development.
- SECOND PART
- 1.5 acres of land adjoining W********, which comprises agricultural and amenity land to the North East of the village centre. There are no buildings on this land other than an agricultural building (former piggery). Adjoining the main site is a timber warehouse, a self-contained basic timber warehouse with its own private drive. This building was previously used for metal stockholding and vehicle repairs
- 0.75 acre plot of land adjoining C***** Street which is undeveloped. This plot adjoins an established housing development, suggesting development of the subject site is viable
- 40 acres of agricultural land and a 1 acre lake accessible via land adjoining the warehouse, or via the Borrower's separate land holding to the south. Traditionally the land has been used for amenity and hay-making purposes.
- The borrower is working closely with an experienced developer to obtain planning permission outlined in the report.
- The borrower's project manager has successfully obtained planning permission and project managed a number of residential developments in Rudgwick over the past 15 years or so
Exit Strategy
[/font]
- If the borrower does not obtain planning permission, he will refinance the property on a long-term mortgage or will sell it to an owner occupier.
- If planning permission is obtained, the Valuer has advised that this will create considerable uplift to the value. The borrower plans to either find development finance to carry this out or sell to one of the many interested developers
- SS note that planning permission is likely to be granted and this land would be very attractive to developers and interest from large property development companies has been clearly expressed.
