The loan was secured against a former hotel in south Manchester, which is currently used for social housing following a change of use to temporary accommodation.
The deal was brokered by Find Me Property Finance.
Jamie Jolly, managing director at HREF (pictured above), said: “The property is owned by a very experienced real estate entrepreneur who is seeking to optimise the operating performance of this asset that is excellently located close to one of the UK’s busiest airports.
“The deal was particularly complex due to the nature of the lease and term required.

“The team at HREF was able to draw on the vast amount of experience we have built across the team in order to structure a loan that allowed the borrower to leverage the asset and utilise funds to further grow an already impressive portfolio of property across Greater Manchester.
“The nature of this transaction showcases HREF’s ability to work through challenging circumstances, [and] be flexible and commercial in supporting borrowers with their financing requirements.”
Valuations for this transaction were undertaken by Fisher German LLP, and legal due diligence was provided by Clarion in Leeds.
