Semi-Commercial Refinance Unlocks £1m for Portfolio Growth

At Ramsay & White, we specialise in helping property investors and business owners unlock the capital they need to scale their portfolios. This recent case study demonstrates how our team structured a flexible refinance solution for a semi-commercial property.

The Deal

Our client owned a semi-commercial property comprising:

  • A 12-bedroom HMO
  • A ground-floor commercial unit let to their own business

This mix of residential and commercial elements required a lender who could understand the complexities of both sides.

The Objective

The client was seeking a £1 million interest-only facility to refinance the existing property and release equity to fund further investments. Flexibility and speed were key, as the client wanted to move quickly on their next acquisition opportunities.

The Solution

Working through our specialist lending partners, we secured a 5-year fixed rate at 6.5%. The chosen lender’s streamlined process and competitive terms provided the client with both the confidence and capital needed to continue expanding their portfolio.

“Being a strategic partner for Shawbrook Bank in the specialist market allows us to deliver the right solutions with a competitive product and an efficient process for our clients.” — Dean, Head of Sales at Ramsay & White

The Result

The refinance unlocked significant equity, allowing the client to accelerate their portfolio growth while maintaining stable, predictable repayments.

At Ramsay & White, we work with a range of specialist lenders to help property investors, developers, and business owners structure the right finance for their goals.
