Client Background

An established South Wales electrical contracting business expanding into property investment sought a flexible way to act quickly on auction and short-completion opportunities. The business owned three unencumbered properties—two commercial investment units and one residential investment—valued collectively at approximately £470k.

Challenge

The clients needed an agile, pre-agreed funding source that avoided repeated valuations and legal processes, enabling them to move as fast as cash buyers.

Solution

Cornerstone structured a £280k Hunting Pot Facility at 60% gross OMV, delivering:

  • Credit-backed terms within 48 hours
  • Security formalities completed within 28 days
  • A standing facility enabling instant access to funds for future acquisitions

Outcome & Additional Value

The clients can now purchase as if they were cash buyers, accessing funds within 72 hours whenever required.

They have already used the facility four times, allowing them to secure multiple opportunities quickly and competitively.
