## Frequently asked questions

### I am a Singaporean investor with UK property. Can I refinance to release capital?

Yes. The Glasgow case here refinanced a £3 million commercial office building for a Singapore-based investor, lending £1.2 million (40% loan-to-value) in 2 weeks. Cross-border investors using us to release equity from UK assets is a common deal type.

### How fast can a UK commercial refinance close for an overseas borrower?

2 to 3 weeks for a clean UK commercial property where the borrower is known. Overseas residency does not slow the UK-side legal completion. We coordinate with your existing UK lender on payoff timing to avoid double-interest periods.

### Can the released capital be used for new investments outside the UK?

Yes. We do not restrict end-use beyond standard Anti-Money-Laundering checks. The Singaporean investor here used the released capital to pursue further investment opportunities, with funds wired to the destination of their choice the same day as drawdown.
