Liam started his career in property 8 years ago when he joined a property franchise business and took on his first modest HMO development. Since then, having decided to make the income stream the priority of his business, he has built up a portfolio of over 75 rooms by developing former B&Bs, residential care homes and hotels. He also has a business centre of 20 serviced office suites and a multi-let commercial property. 

He credits being able to build his extensive portfolio partly due to working with Kevin on finance. They met through the property franchise business and Kevin has helped Liam arrange short-term & long term funding at every stage of his business’ growth.  

What Liam likes about working with Kevin is his honesty, reliability, and direct approach to business. Over the years he’s recommended Kevin to others and personally wouldn’t turn to anyone else now. 

Reflecting on their business relationship, Liam says ‘

Kevin gains a thorough understanding of each project to ensure that the right type of finance is in place for each part of the process, which can range from bridging finance, development funding and term products. Having the confidence that Kevin can always secure the necessary funding has been fundamental to our portfolio growth. Obviously there is a broad spectrum of rates dependent upon the part of the process and type of product that you require, and whilst some rates can be ‘eye watering’, these are simply a project cost to be considered based upon the end GDV.

When taking out finance for short term funding or a bridging loan, we recommend you also review your protection cover to ensure you've got the right insurance policies in place for all eventualities.
