FAQ

Can Rikvin Capital fund a UK distressed-property purchase fast?

Yes. The Edinburgh case lent £1 million against a £2.5 million service apartment (40% loan-to-value) in 14 days for a distressed-asset acquisition where the bank could not meet the deadline. Distressed-purchase windows are usually too short for traditional finance; private lending fits naturally.

How long does a distressed-property bridge loan typically run?

12 to 24 months, often with an extension option. The Edinburgh case ran 24 months (12+12), giving the borrower time to settle the asset, stabilise the operation and refinance into a long-term bank facility once the bank was willing to step in.

Can the loan term be extended if I need more time?

Yes. Where the original term proves too short, we offer extensions subject to a fresh underwrite. The Edinburgh borrower used the renewal option to give themselves a full 24 months before the bank refinance completed. Extensions are agreed at the time, not assumed automatically.
