🏆 **TWO AWARDS, TWO COMPANIES AND ONE AMAZING TEAM!** 🏆

PLATINUM AND HIGHLY COMMENDED

A massive thank you, yet again, to my No. 2, Zee Sbl , who collected two awards on my behalf, representing both SBL Financial and Ram Secured Loans ( Dan L Burdett who heads that up for me ) for the second year running, as well as doing the all-important meeting, greeting and networking!

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this year due to ongoing challenges with my elderly parents. However, the show must go on, and Zia did a fantastic job representing both businesses.

Now, the eagle-eyed amongst you might be thinking, *"Hang on, didn't you do the same last year? Have you flatlined, Sean?"* 🤣

Far from it!

We've been putting an enormous amount of work in behind the scenes, investing in our people, infrastructure, systems and the foundations for our 2027 growth campaign. Believe me, there's plenty going

And that brings me back to our amazing team.

Neither SBL Financial nor RAM Secured Loans could achieve what we do without the fantastic people behind both brands. From our advisers and administrators to our back-office teams and everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes, you are the backbone of what we do

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 **ANOTHER SCOTTISH BRIDGING DEAL COMPLETED!**

Another successful completion for one of our regular Scottish clients! 👏

This particular case involved a **Grade B / Grade II property with non-standard construction and refurbishment works, funded at 75% LTV.**

At **SBL Financial**, we don't just arrange bridging finance. We offer a comprehensive range of specialist property finance solutions across Scotland, including:

🏡 **Bridging Finance** – Purchases, refinancing, auction purchases and properties requiring works.

🏗️ **Development Finance** – From refurbishment projects to larger developments.

💷 **Secured Loans** – Capital raising and specialist second-charge lending.

🏘️ **Buy-to-Let Mortgages** – Including limited companies, HMOs, portfolio landlords and non-standard properties.

📍 **AND WE DON'T JUST COVER GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH!**

We arrange finance throughout Scotland, including more rural and remote locations.

However, **location matters in Scotland **. Depending on where the property is situated, lenders may restrict loan-to-value (LTV), and interest rates may be slightly higher to reflect the location, property type and associated risks.

With access to over 200 lenders, we look at the individual property, the proposed works and, importantly, **the exit strategy from day one**.

We also work with a specialist Scottish solicitor team with **8 offices across the Glasgow area**, helping us navigate Scottish property transactions and their legal requirements.

Whether you're buying, refinancing, developing or raising capital, we love finding solutions for properties that don't necessarily fit the standard lending criteria.

SBL Financial – Finance without limits, solutions without compromise

23/09/2026

☀️ **What a day for another SOS — Sean On Site!**

One of the things we do for our clients — particularly our **overseas, expat and foreign national clients** — is get out from behind the desk and **go to site**.

We’ve only just got the application in on the **first SOS deal from less than a month ago… and we’re already onto the second!**

At **SBL Financial, we are not order takers and we are certainly not drones.**

Property finance isn't just about finding a lender and submitting an application. We want to understand the **whole deal**.

That can mean visiting the property, meeting the tenant, understanding their business and lease requirements, looking at the asset itself and asking the questions that don't always appear on a valuation report or spreadsheet.

We dig down into:

🏢 **The asset**
🤝 **The tenant and their business**
📑 **Lease strength and future intentions**
🔍 **KYC and due diligence**
💷 **The proposed finance**
🚪 **The exit strategy**
📈 **The overall viability of the deal**

Sometimes we **pass on more opportunities than we accept** — because the deal has to make sense.

If we don't believe it's right, we'll say so.

Our job isn't simply to arrange the finance. It's to **add value throughout our client's property journey** and use our experience, lender relationships and property knowledge to help them make informed decisions.

And when a client is thousands of miles away, sometimes that means putting the shoes on and getting out there ourselves.

**Our No.1 USP is the client.**

**Finance without limits, solutions without compromise.**

MULTIPLE DEALS. ONE SOLUTION. ONE CLIENT GOAL. 🏡🤝
Not every property transaction is as simple as arranging one mortgage.
At SBL Financial, one of our specialities is bringing multiple finance solutions together to get a client's property journey across the line.
We're talking 4, 5, 6, 7 or even 8 interconnected transactions running simultaneously!
Bridging finance, second charge secured loans, buy-to-let refinancing, capital raising, commercial finance and portfolio restructuring — all coordinated to achieve the client's overall objective.
Sometimes a relatively small secured loan is the missing piece in a multimillion-pound property transaction.
Sometimes one refinance needs to complete before another purchase can proceed.
And sometimes we need to get out from behind our desks, visit the properties, engage directly with lenders, valuers and solicitors, and find out exactly what is needed to make the transaction work.
We don't just look at individual applications. We look at the entire picture.
Our approach is built around advice, recommendation, lender relationships, careful structuring and, crucially, understanding the exit strategy and risks.
We don't believe in simply taking orders or finding a lender and hoping for the best.
We love the complex cases. We love putting the pieces together. And we love seeing our clients achieve their property goals.
Our No. 1 USP is the client.

Off-Plan Property Purchases: When the Dream Meets Reality
Exchanged contracts? Committed a substantial deposit? Now struggling to secure finance?
At SBL Financial, we assist clients with investor-led off-plan property purchases, particularly when problems emerge after exchange.
The glossy sales brochure and projected returns are one thing. The reality of securing finance at completion can be very different.
We regularly encounter:
• Lender overexposure to a particular development.
• Limited lender appetite for certain locations or property types.
• Down valuations and unexpected funding shortfalls.
• Multiple mortgage applications and declined cases.
• Specialist lending requirements and tight completion deadlines.
• Clients facing the potential loss of substantial deposits.
This is where our experience, relationships and ability to structure multiple finance solutions become invaluable.
We don't simply submit an application and hope for the best.
We assess the transaction, undertake property site visits where appropriate, engage specialist lenders, examine valuation risks and prepare alternative funding strategies, including bridging finance, second charge secured loans and capital raising where suitable.
We have successfully helped numerous clients complete purchases where previous funding arrangements have failed, protecting them from the potential loss of substantial deposits.
Not every transaction can be rescued, and we will always be upfront about the risks, costs and realistic options.
Our No. 1 USP is the client.
Finance without limits, solutions without compromise.

**JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD!**

We are absolutely manic at SBL Financial — around **22 appointments and enquiries yesterday alone**.
But increasingly, some days we feel like the **fourth emergency service**.
We're speaking to people already in bridging finance with **no proper exit strategy**, people who didn't realise charges had been taken over more than one property, and clients looking at regulated, cross-charge or second-charge bridging without fully understanding what they're risking.

We've even spoken to elderly clients who have effectively been told:

**“Don't worry about it.” 😳**

WTF!

I love bridging. We arrange a huge amount of it.

I can arrange complex structures, cross-charges, regulated bridging and second-charge solutions.

**But just because I CAN do it doesn't mean YOU SHOULD do it.**

A lender saying **YES** doesn't automatically mean it's the right thing for the client.

My biggest question is always:

**HOW ARE YOU GETTING OUT?**

And then:

**What happens if Plan A doesn't work?**

If your entire exit depends on selling a property, what happens if it doesn't sell?

Can you refinance?

What if the valuation drops?

What if the works overrun?

And what are you potentially putting at risk?

We've had several people say:

**“Sean, we wish we'd listened to you, but we went somewhere cheaper.”**

Unfortunately, by then **cheap can become VERY expensive.**

At SBL Financial we are **not order takers**.

Sometimes we'll find a way when everybody else has said no.

But sometimes we'll tell you **NO** when everybody else is saying yes.

And sometimes we'll say:

**“Yes, we can do it — but we don't think you should.”**

I'd rather lose the business than put my name to something I don't believe is right for the client.

**Getting into the bridge is the easy bit.
HOW ARE YOU GETTING OUT?**

WHY DO WE LOVE GB BANK? 🌍🏦

Because not every client — or company structure — fits neatly into a box.
Unfortunately I cannot attend everything however Zia my right hand man was more than happy to step in last night
At SBL Financial, we deal with expats, foreign nationals and internationally structured clients on a regular basis. That can mean multiple company layers, offshore entities, trusts, SPVs and structures involving jurisdictions such as the BVI.
This is where having the right lender — and knowing how t package the case — becomes incredibly important.
Some of the key reasons we like working with GB Bank:
🌍 Worldwide residents considered – excluding sanctioned/FATF-blacklisted jurisdictions
🏦 No UK residency required
💷 No minimum income requirement on their foreign national/expat BTL proposition
🏠 No requirement to already own UK property
📊 Up to 75% LTV residential / 65% commercial
💰 Loans up to £20m
🏢 Limited companies & SPVs
🌐 Offshore entities considered
📑 Discretionary trusts considered
🔗 Layered ownership structures can be considered
🏘️ HMOs & MUFBs accepted
🏬 Semi-commercial and commercial property considered
💷 Affordability can be based on rental coverage rather than requiring UK-earned income
I cant be everywhere so it was great that zia my right hand man was able to step in at this event and met old friends and new, along with our very good friends from Lawrence Stephens solicitors
And importantly, complexity itself isn't necessarily a reason to decline a case.If there are multiple layers, offshore companies or beneficial owners, the ownership and control obviously need to be clearly established and the appropriate due diligence completed.
That's exactly how specialist lending should work — understand the client, understand the structure, understand the asset and then find a way to make the deal work where it makes sense.
At SBL Financial, we love complex.
Foreign national? Expat? BVI company? Offshore SPV? Trust? Multiple company layers?
Don't assume it can't be funded just because your structure doesn't fit a standard lender's computer screen.

🤝 **EVERYTHING IN BUSINESS COMES DOWN TO RELATIONSHIPS.**

At SBL Financial, we’re fortunate to have some fantastic relationships across the specialist lending market — but one of our **strongest and longest-standing relationships is with Together Money.**

And for us, a lender relationship is about far more than having a BDM’s phone number.

We’re integrated across the business, **from BDM level through to senior leadership and the CEO**, with relationships built through doing **millions of pounds of lending** and working closely together on real cases.

What does that relationship mean in practice?

✅ **Gold Partner status**
✅ A dedicated **concierge team** supporting our cases
✅ Access to **bespoke service and, where available, bespoke rates**
✅ Direct relationships with key decision-makers
✅ Ability to contact senior leadership when a case genuinely requires it
✅ Pre-packaging and underwriting cases before submission
✅ Lenders working alongside us and understanding how SBL operates
✅ Faster communication, fewer unnecessary obstacles and greater deliverability

There are also elements of how we work together that, quite simply, **we can’t talk about publicly.**

Yes, clients can access Together through other brokers and, in some circumstances, directly.

But **access to a lender and the relationship you have with that lender are two very different things.**

When everyone knows who SBL Financial is, understands how we package business and knows the standards we work to, it can make a significant difference when dealing with complicated or time-critical cases.

That is what we mean by:

# # # **FRICTIONLESS DELIVERABILITY.**

It isn't about promising every case will be easy or every deal will complete. It's about having the **relationships, experience, access and people** around the table to give a case the best possible opportunity of getting across the line.

We ❤️ **Together Money** — because when the relationship works at every level, so can the deal.

**Everything in life is about relationships.**

🏠 **LOOKING FOR PROPERTY OPPORTUNITIES THAT DON’T ALWAYS REACH THE OPEN MARKET?**

At **RAM Platinum Properties**, we specialise in property acquisition and distribution across the UK, with opportunities ranging from **below £100,000 through to £30 million**.

A large proportion of the stock we see is **below market value, distressed, off-market or needs a fast sale** — where speed, certainty and the ability to actually complete can make all the difference.

🏢 Residential, commercial & mixed-use
🏗️ Refurbishment & development opportunities
🏘️ HMOs, MUFBs & portfolios
📍 Land and sites, with or without planning
🏦 Bank distressed sales
🤝 Direct-to-client opportunities
🔨 Off-auction and off-market deals
⚡ Fast-sale and short-timescale opportunities

# # # ONE STOP SHOP — ACQUISITION • VALUATION • FINANCE

Through our sister company **SBL Financial**, we can also assist with **valuations and specialist finance**, meaning we can look at the complete transaction rather than simply introducing a property.

For buyers, that means we can help assess **the deal, the value and how it can be funded**.

For sellers, banks, agents and other property professionals, we are always interested in discussing opportunities where a **credible buyer and fast, professional ex*****on** are important.

# # # 🔨 WON AT AUCTION? NEED TO MOVE FAST?

When you buy at auction, **the clock starts ticking the moment the hammer falls.**

Whether you have **28 days, 21 days, 14 days or even 7 days** to complete, having the right finance is only part of the equation.

⚡ **Speed needs deliverability.**

At SBL Financial, we specialise in **bridging finance and time-critical property transactions**. We work with lenders and professionals who understand that when a deadline is fixed, there is very little room for friction or delay.

We can help with:

✅ Auction purchases
✅ Bridging & short-term finance
✅ Urgent purchases and chain breaks
✅ Refurbishment projects
✅ BTL, HMO, commercial & semi-commercial
✅ Development exit finance
✅ Online valuations
✅ Auction-experienced solicitors
✅ Clear exit strategy and refinance planning

🚀 **HOW FAST CAN WE MOVE?**

With one of our lender relationships, we have **Gold Partner status and access to a concierge service**. On suitable cases, we can obtain an **online valuation and initial terms in under 60 minutes** — and we have seen cases returned in **under 20 minutes**.

That speed is subject to the property, lender criteria, valuation type, case complexity and having the right information available.

But there is another important point:

# # # ❌ THE BEST RATE DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THE MOST SUITABLE PRODUCT.

A headline rate looks great — **until the lender can't deliver within your deadline.**

For an auction or time-critical transaction, we consider **rate, speed, certainty, valuation, legal process, lender appetite, exit strategy and deliverability**.

**A cheap bridge that doesn't complete on time can become a very expensive mistake.**

We have offices in **Hampshire and London**, lenders who work directly from our offices, and relationships giving us access to **Managing Directors, CEOs and key decision-makers across the specialist lending market**.

It's not simply about finding a lender.

**It's about putting the right lender, valuation, solicitor and exit strategy together to get the transaction across the line.**
