Below Market Value Property Finance with Ascot 

Ascot Bridging Finance introduces a solution tailored for individuals looking to maximise their investments in the property market. Below Market Value Property Finance is a loan or a financing arrangement where the amount of funding provided is based on the actual market value of a property, rather than the lower purchase price at which the property is being acquired. This approach is particularly advantageous in scenarios where properties are being sold for less than their market value due to factors such as quick sales requirements, distressed sales, or unique opportunities that allow buyers to purchase at a discount.

The Process

Step 1

Initial Enquiry

Ascot is provided with a summary of the deal, reasons for wanting a bridging loan, the security available and a clear repayment strategy.

Step 2

Initial Approval

Ascot will provide a set of Heads of Terms outlining the key details to which we are happy to lend and the next steps to proceed to the next stage.

Step 3

Application

Ascot receives a fully completed application form and supporting documents for underwriting review and full due diligence.

Step 4

Instructions

Ascot will instruct both a Surveyor to provide a valuation report and a solicitor to undertake the required legal due diligence.

Step 5

Asset Manager

An Asset Manager will visit the property and discuss with the borrower their plans for the project, experience, exit strategy and the contractors they intend to use.

Step 6

Credit Committee

Your underwriter will present the case to the credit committee team detailing the due diligence undertaken to date and their rationale for approval.

Step 7

Solicitors

Legal work is satisfied, security documents are signed and returned with funds released to the solicitors for completion.

Step 8

Completion

Contracts exchanged with monies sent to the seller. You are now the legal owner of the property.

Traditional Property Finance vs Below Market Value Property Finance

Let’s consider the impact of Below Market Value Property Finance on a higher-value property, with a market valuation of £300,000.

Traditional Property Finance Scenario:

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): 75%
  • Valuation Price of the Property: £300,000
  • Purchase Price: Assumed to be 25% below market value, i.e., £225,000
  • Maximum Loan Amount Based on Purchase Price: Purchase price (£225,000) * 75% LTV = £168,750

 

In traditional finance, the loan amount is typically based on the lower purchase price. So, for a property you’re purchasing for £225,000, under a standard finance product, you could be eligible for a loan up to £168,750.

Below Market Value Property Finance Scenario:

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): 75%
  • Valuation Price of the Property: £300,000
  • Maximum Loan Amount Based on Valuation Price: Valuation price (£300,000) * 75% LTV = £225,000

 

With Below Market Value Property Finance, your loan is calculated based on the property’s higher market valuation, not the purchase price. This means for the same property, you could secure a loan of £225,000 — significantly more than with traditional property finance.

This table clearly highlights the advantage of Below Market Value Property Finance, demonstrating how investors can leverage the full market value of their investment property, rather than being constrained by the purchase price. For a property with a £300,000 valuation, this financing option provides significantly more capital, offering £225,000 in funding compared to £168,750 with traditional financing. This enhanced financial leverage is crucial for investors aiming to maximise their portfolio’s growth and profitability, providing a robust foundation for both short-term flips and long-term investment strategies.
