Why use Saxon Trust Conversion finance?
Saxon Trust is a privately owned company, built by property professionals who understand the development and lending process. Our team recognises the challenges associated with transforming a commercial property into a new home. We look to offer flexible finance solutions to people who have a history of success in similar projects.
We are proud to build long-term relationships with our developers and hope to fund them throughout their careers, offering support throughout each project’s lifecycle. We don’t have a fixed borrower profile and will consider any credit history on its merits.
Rates fixed for the term of the loan help our developers avoid the stress and uncertainty that can be caused by increasingly common base rate changes and macroeconomic instability. Whilst material and labour costs may rise during a project, our rates won’t.
“It was a pleasure working with the Saxon Trust team, and we are delighted to have secured a fixed rate deal that gives our client comfort and certainty over a 24-month period to build, market and sell the properties.”
