Raising Equity Against a Tax Bill of £3.1 Million
8th August 2023
Enness Global was recently approached by a client seeking assistance in raising equity against their home. They required the funds to settle an unforeseen tax bill of £3,100,000, however, the client was unable to make the payment due to insufficient liquid funds. As a result, they were required to make an immediate payment without enough time to sell other assets to cover the costs. Our solution was to organise the client a second charge to raise funds in a matter of weeks.
This case was challenging for a number of reasons, including the client's reluctance to pay back his previous first charge due to its historically low interest rate. Additionally, we were adding a second charge to their principal house, which turned this transaction into a regulated one and constrained the possibilities. They also intended to settle their own personal tax due with the released funds and lastly, the property needed a lot of work, and it wouldn't be finished before the loan was pulled.
After researching the market, we discovered a viable solution for our client. They could obtain the necessary funds at a rate of 1.1% per month for 12 months, allowing them ample time to arrange the sale of additional assets to repay the loan.
