Strong demand for Fiduciam loans in Spain

Fiduciam is seeing strong demand for its loan products in Spain, intending to double its lending volume in Spain to €40 million in 2019.  Fiduciam fills a market gap, as Spanish banks are reluctant to finance property transactions by foreign nationals. 
At the same time the private banks, which would historically have provided such loans, have sharply reduced their cross-border loan products.

First loan secured over French real estate

Fiduciam adds France to the list of countries where it can take security for its bridging, refurbishment, development, business and trade loans.

It granted a €5 million loan secured over a French real estate portfolio with the overall structure spanning three jurisdictions.

Fiduciam completes £15m loan to refinance three care homes

Fiduciam’s loan enabled the borrower to refinance three UK care homes. Due to a Care Quality Commission (CQC) issue with one of the homes, the borrower had run into trouble with their high street lender who wanted to foreclose on their loan, despite the business still being in profit. The borrower stood to lose circa £8m in equity had the lender progressed a sale through administrators.

The Fiduciam loan allows the borrower to retain the business they have spent twenty years building and, in doing so, prevents the loss of numerous jobs and much-needed beds for patients.  It also gives the borrower enough time to restructure the business and put another long-term loan in place.
