# FAQs

For clients with substantial property interests, financing decisions rarely exist in isolation. The nature of the property, the wider financial position and the purpose behind the transaction all form part of the picture.

Here we address some of the questions we are most frequently asked across residential, investment, commercial, development, bridging and second charge finance.

For matters that require a more individual discussion, you can speak directly with an experienced Clarendon Private Finance adviser, in confidence.

## About Clarendon Private Finance

Who does Clarendon Private Finance work with?+

Clarendon Private Finance works with private clients, investors, entrepreneurs, business owners and property owners whose property and financial affairs often extend beyond a conventional mortgage requirement.

Our clients may be acquiring an exceptional residential property, expanding a property portfolio, investing in commercial property, undertaking a development or seeking access to capital held within existing assets. Whatever the requirement, our approach begins with understanding the wider circumstances behind it.

What makes Clarendon Private Finance different from a conventional mortgage broker?+

Clarendon Private Finance provides a more personal approach to property finance, combining direct relationships with experienced advisers and more than two decades of knowledge across the property finance market.

We look beyond the immediate financing requirement to understand the property, your wider financial position and what you are looking to achieve. Our role is not simply to source a mortgage, but to provide informed guidance on the financing options available to you.

How much property finance experience does Clarendon Private Finance have?+

Clarendon Prime Finance is a trading name of Aria Finance, drawing on more than 20 years of experience in property finance.

This experience spans residential, investment, bridging, development, commercial and second charge finance, providing a broad understanding of the UK property and lending markets. It informs our approach to each client's requirements, helping us navigate complex circumstances and identify suitable funding options through our network of lenders.

Does Clarendon Private Finance work with private banks and specialist lenders?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance has established relationships across a broad section of the property finance market, including private banks, specialist lenders and other funding providers.

This breadth of access allows us to consider a range of financing routes rather than approaching every requirement through the same lending channel. The appropriate route depends on the property, the circumstances and the purpose of the finance.

Will I have a dedicated adviser?+

Yes. You will have a direct relationship with an experienced adviser throughout your financing journey.

Your adviser will remain closely involved from the initial conversation through to completion, providing continuity and coordinating with the relevant lenders and professional advisers where appropriate.

## Residential Finance

Can you arrange a mortgage if I own a business?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises business owners and entrepreneurs on residential mortgage options, including circumstances where income is derived from a company rather than a conventional salary.

We take a considered view of your wider financial position, including the nature of your business, the income you draw from it and other relevant assets and interests. We work with lenders to identify suitable mortgage options, with the final lending decision resting with the chosen lender.

Can retained company profits be considered when arranging a mortgage?+

In some circumstances, retained profits can be relevant when assessing residential mortgage affordability, particularly for business owners and directors.

The way retained profits are treated varies between lenders and depends on the circumstances of the business and the individual. Clarendon Private Finance can assess the wider position and identify the most appropriate approach.

Can you arrange residential finance for international or globally mobile clients?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises international and globally mobile clients on residential mortgage options, subject to their circumstances and individual lender requirements.

Where income, assets or existing property interests span more than one country, additional considerations may apply. We take the client's wider financial position into account and work with lenders to identify suitable financing options.

Can you arrange finance for properties held through a company or trust?+

In some circumstances, yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for properties held through a company or trust, with the appropriate route depending on the ownership structure, the property and the purpose of the borrowing.

Where additional legal, tax or structural considerations apply, we can work alongside the client's relevant professional advisers and engage with lenders to explore suitable options.

Can Clarendon Private Finance arrange finance for a second home or investment property?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for second homes, investment properties and other high-value residential property.

The appropriate route will depend on how the property will be used, its ownership structure and the client's wider financial circumstances. We work with lenders to identify suitable options based on these requirements.

## Bridging Finance

What is bridging finance and when might it be appropriate?+

Bridging finance is short-term property finance designed to provide capital where timing, flexibility or the structure of a transaction calls for an alternative to conventional long-term finance.

It can be used for acquisitions, refinancing, property refurbishment, investment opportunities, development exits and other transactions where finance needs to be arranged ahead of a longer-term solution or completed within a defined timeframe.

How quickly can a bridging loan complete?+

The time required to complete a bridging loan varies according to the property, structure of the transaction, legal work and lender requirements.

Where the circumstances allow, bridging finance can complete considerably faster than conventional mortgage finance. Clarendon Private Finance manages the process closely from the outset, helping to identify potential issues early and maintaining momentum through to completion.

Can bridging finance be used to acquire an investment property?+

Yes. Bridging finance can be used to acquire residential, commercial and mixed-use investment property where a short-term financing solution is appropriate.

It can be particularly useful where an investor needs to move quickly, where the property requires work before longer-term finance is available, or where the acquisition does not fit neatly within a conventional mortgage structure.

Can bridging finance be used for refurbishment or redevelopment?+

Yes. Bridging finance can provide short-term capital for refurbishment and redevelopment projects, including situations where the property's condition or proposed works mean conventional mortgage finance is not immediately appropriate.

The facility can be structured around the nature of the project and the intended route to repayment.

Can bridging finance be used to purchase a property at auction?+

Yes. Bridging finance is commonly used for auction purchases because the completion period following a successful bid can be considerably shorter than a conventional mortgage process.

Clarendon Private Finance can assess the property, the auction timetable and the intended exit strategy to determine whether bridging finance is appropriate.

Can you help me find development exit finance?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises developers on development exit finance options, which may allow an existing development facility to be refinanced once a project has reached a suitable stage. This can provide additional time to sell the completed properties or arrange longer-term finance.

We assess the development's current stage, the existing facility and the intended exit strategy, working with lenders to identify suitable financing options. Any lending decision rests with the chosen lender.

## Property Investment & BTL

Can you help experienced landlords restructure their property finance?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance can advise experienced landlords considering changes to the financing of individual properties or wider portfolios.

This may include refinancing, releasing capital, consolidating facilities or arranging finance for further acquisitions. We consider the existing portfolio and the client's wider objectives when assessing the appropriate route and lender.

Can you help me find buy-to-let finance through a limited company?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on buy-to-let mortgage options for properties owned through limited companies, subject to the circumstances and individual lender requirements.

We consider the ownership structure, property portfolio and investment objectives when exploring suitable financing options with lenders.

Clarendon Private Finance can explore financing options for a range of property ownership structures, including corporate arrangements, depending on the circumstances and lender requirements.

The appropriate approach will depend on the ownership structure, the property and the purpose of the borrowing. Where relevant, we can work alongside your accountant, solicitor or other professional advisers to help identify suitable options through our network of lenders.

Can you advise and arrange find finance for multi-property acquisitions?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for acquisitions involving multiple properties, whether as part of an established investment portfolio or a new acquisition strategy.

We consider the wider transaction, including the properties involved, ownership structure and investment objectives, and work with lenders to explore suitable funding solutions. The final lending decision rests with the chosen lender.

Can you help investors release capital from existing property?+

Yes. Investors may be able to release capital held within existing property without necessarily selling the asset.

Depending on the circumstances, this could involve refinancing, a second charge or another form of property-backed finance. We consider the purpose of the capital and the wider position before recommending an appropriate route including the lender.

Can you advise and arrange finance for portfolio refinancing?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on refinancing options for residential and commercial property portfolios.

Refinancing can provide an opportunity to review existing arrangements, release capital, restructure borrowing or prepare for future acquisitions. We consider the portfolio as a whole, alongside the client's wider financial objectives, and work with lenders to identify suitable funding options. The final lending decision rests with the chosen lender.

## Development Finance

Can you arrange applications/solutions development finance for residential schemes?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance can arrange through its lender partners development finance for a range of residential schemes, from individual developments through to larger projects.

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on funding options for commercial-to-residential conversion projects, subject to the proposed scheme and individual lender requirements.

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on development finance options for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and co-living schemes.

Can you help experienced developers find development finance?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises experienced developers on funding options across a range of residential, commercial and mixed-use projects.

A developer's track record is an important consideration alongside the scheme itself, including planning, financial viability, costs and the proposed exit strategy. We work with lenders to explore suitable funding options, with the final lending decision resting with the chosen lender.

Can development finance include land acquisition costs?+

In appropriate circumstances, development finance can include funding towards land acquisition alongside the costs associated with delivering the proposed development.

The level and structure of funding will depend on the site, planning position, scheme, developer experience and overall financial requirements.

## Commercial Property

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for commercial property acquisitions, for both investment and owner-occupied purposes.

We consider the property alongside its income, ownership structure, intended use and the client's wider financial circumstances, working with lenders to identify suitable funding options.

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for specialist commercial property, including hotels, pubs and care homes.

These assets can require a detailed assessment of the property, trading position, operator and wider financial circumstances. We take these factors into account when exploring suitable funding options with lenders, subject to their criteria and lending decisions.

Can you help me find finance for commercial property portfolios?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on financing options for commercial property portfolios, including acquisitions, refinancing and restructuring.

Where a portfolio forms part of a wider investment strategy, we consider the properties and existing finance together rather than viewing each asset in isolation. We then work with lenders to explore suitable funding solutions based on the client's objectives and the portfolio's requirements.

Can you help me find finance for owner-occupied commercial property?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises businesses on financing options for acquiring or refinancing the commercial premises from which they operate.

We consider the property, planning position, proposed works, costs and intended exit strategy when working with lenders to identify suitable financing options.

## Second Charge Finance

What is a second charge mortgage?+

A second charge mortgage is secured against a property alongside an existing first-charge mortgage. It can provide access to additional capital without necessarily replacing the first charge already in place.

For investors and business owners, this can provide an alternative way to access property capital while retaining an existing financing arrangement.

Can I use a second charge to raise capital for a property investment?+

Yes. A second charge can be used to release capital from an existing property for an investment opportunity, subject to the circumstances and lender requirements.

This can provide investors with access to capital without necessarily refinancing the existing first charge.

Can a second charge be used for business purposes?+

Yes. In appropriate circumstances, a second charge can provide property-backed capital for business purposes, including investment, expansion and other strategic requirements.

The suitability of this route depends on the purpose of the borrowing, the property and the wider financial circumstances.

Can I release capital from a property without replacing the existing first charge?+

Yes. One of the principal advantages of a second charge is that it can allow additional capital to be raised while leaving the existing first-charge mortgage in place.

This may be appropriate where the existing financing forms part of a wider financial strategy or where replacing it would create unnecessary cost or disruption.

Can second charge finance be used across a property portfolio?+

In appropriate circumstances, yes. Second charge finance can be considered against individual properties or, depending on the circumstances, within a wider portfolio strategy.

The appropriate structure will depend on the properties involved, existing finance, ownership and the purpose for which the capital is being raised.

## Complex Circumstances

Can Clarendon Private Finance help if my financial circumstances are complex?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance regularly works with clients whose property and financial affairs extend beyond a conventional mortgage profile.

This may include business ownership, multiple sources of income, substantial property interests, international assets or more involved ownership arrangements. We begin by understanding the wider circumstances before considering the appropriate financing route.

Can you advise on and arrange finance where my income comes from businesses, investments and other sources?+

Yes. Depending on the circumstances and lender criteria, income from businesses, investments and other sources may be considered when exploring property finance options.

As lenders assess different forms of income in different ways, Clarendon Private Finance takes a broader view of your financial position and works with lenders to identify potential funding solutions suited to your circumstances.

Can you assist with arranging finance where a property is held through a different ownership structure?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance can assess financing requirements involving a range of ownership structures, including companies and trusts, and identify potential lending options. Availability will depend on the nature of the transaction, the ownership structure and the relevant lender’s criteria, independent assessment and approval.

Where appropriate, we can work alongside your existing professional advisers to ensure the financing is considered within the wider structure.

Can Clarendon Private Finance work alongside my accountant, solicitor or wealth adviser?+

Yes. We are accustomed to working alongside clients' existing professional advisers where this is appropriate.

With your permission, we can coordinate with accountants, solicitors, wealth advisers and other professionals so that the financing is understood within the wider context of your affairs.

Can you help if I have an unusual or time-sensitive property requirement?+

Yes. Clarendon Private Finance advises clients on property finance options where timing, the nature of the property or the circumstances of the transaction call for a less conventional approach.

We assess the requirement, explore potential funding routes with lenders and guide clients through the process with discretion and a clear understanding of their objectives. All funding options remain subject to the relevant lender's criteria and approval.

## Process & Service

How does the Clarendon Private Finance process work?+

The process begins with a confidential conversation about your property, your circumstances and what you are looking to achieve.

An experienced adviser will then assess the requirement, discuss the available financing routes and, where appropriate, approach the relevant funding providers. We remain closely involved throughout the process, from initial strategy through to completion.

Will I have a direct relationship with an experienced adviser?+

Yes. You will have a direct relationship with an experienced adviser who remains involved throughout your financing journey.

We believe continuity matters, particularly where the circumstances or transaction require a detailed understanding of your wider position.

How long does property finance typically take?+

The timeframe depends on the type and complexity of the finance, the property, the legal process and the requirements of the relevant funding provider.

Some transactions can move quickly, particularly where the information and professional advisers are already in place. Others require more detailed assessment. Your adviser will provide a realistic indication of the expected timeframe at the outset.

Can Clarendon Private Finance help me understand which type of finance is appropriate?+

Yes. You do not need to determine the appropriate type of finance before speaking to us.

We can discuss your objectives and circumstances and explain the potential routes available, whether that involves residential finance, bridging, investment finance, development finance, commercial finance or a second charge.

Can I have an initial confidential conversation before making an application?+

Yes. We welcome an initial conversation before any formal application is made.

It provides an opportunity to discuss the property, your circumstances and what you are looking to achieve, and to establish whether Clarendon Private Finance is the right adviser for your requirement.
