Finance · Refurbishment bridging

Acquire. Improve.
Exit from a stronger position.

Purchase and works finance for light, medium and heavy refurbishment strategies.

The Wentworth view

The works and the exit must be modelled together.

Refurbishment bridging can fund an asset that needs improvement before sale or refinance, from cosmetic works to structural alterations.

We review cost, programme, contingency, experience and end value, then structure acquisition and staged works funding around delivery.

This service is limited to unregulated, business-purpose property finance.
