Client Background

A client sought sole ownership of a family holiday cottage in Cornwall, held since 1954. The transfer involved multiple family members, two trusts and a hard completion deadline.

Challenge

A separate bridging lender withdrew late in the process, leaving the acquisition at risk. The property was a detached coastal home with sea views in a highly sought-after location, adding pressure to secure funding quickly.

Solution

Cornerstone delivered a £500k bridging facility with:

  • Credit-backed terms within 24 hours
  • Close coordination with multiple solicitors and trust representatives
  • Completion 10 days ahead of the deadline

Outcome & Additional Value

Cornerstone also arranged the long-term term funding to exit the bridge.

Following the successful completion, the client’s advisory team has introduced further business to the group.
