Recent Deal
£3,000,000 Bridging Loan Secured to Redeem Property Portfolio from Receivership.
Our clients property portfolio had fallen into receivership and they required urgent assistance to negotiate a Standstill Agreement and secure funding to redeem the outstanding debt.
The matter was led by Sunil Vaghji, who coordinated the legal strategy and delivery with support from Simran Kaur Chatha (Paralegal) and Hibah Choudrey (Paralegal). His team handled the bridging loan and drove the transaction to completion. Alongside this, negotiations on the Standstill Agreement were undertaken by Vijay Parikh and Christopher von Strandmann, whose expertise was instrumental in stabilising the client’s position while funding arrangements were finalised. Thanks to the combined efforts of Sunil and his team, the debt was redeemed through a £3,000,000 bridging facility and the client was able to retain their asset portfolio, with significant relief following a period of pressure and uncertainty.
A special thank you to Manish Babla from Sterling Professional Finance Limited for his involvement and support throughout.
