## Frequently asked questions

### Can I use my Marylebone or prime central London apartment as security for an overseas business loan?

Yes. The Marylebone case here lent £4.06 million against a £7.5 million residential apartment (54.09% loan-to-value) for a foreign investor deploying capital into overseas operations. We take first charge on the UK property; the funds can be wired to almost any jurisdiction subject to AML.

### How much can I borrow against a Marylebone or prime London residence?

Up to around 70 to 75% of valuation for prime central London residential. The Marylebone deal here closed at 54%, which suited the borrower's need (working capital) rather than maximum gearing. Higher-LTV deals are routine for borrowers with strong exit evidence.

### How fast can a Marylebone refinance close?

2 weeks is typical for a clean prime-residential refinance, as in this case. The legal work is standard and the area is well-understood by surveyors. New foreign borrowers may need a few extra days for source-of-wealth documentation.
