£2m refinancing for a multi-site healthcare business: London, Birmingham and Bristol
£2m commercial mortgage · 15-year term · single charge on the London property
In short
How did a multi-site healthcare business refinance £2m of commercial property debt?
Clifton Private Finance’s January 2025 account reports a £2m owner-occupied commercial mortgage refinancing for a healthcare business with premises in London, Birmingham and Bristol: existing portfolio debt was consolidated into a single facility secured on the London property, releasing equity to buy the leased Bristol office outright and clearing the charge on the Birmingham office. This is an attributed external case, not a Clifton International deal.
- Location: London. Finance type: Owner-occupied commercial mortgage refinancing.
- Headline terms: £2m commercial mortgage · 15-year term · single charge on the London property.
- According to Clifton Private Finance’s January 2025 account, an established healthcare business with sites across the UK sought roughly £400,000 to purchase the Bristol office it was leasing, while already owning commercial premises in London and Birmingham. The directors had received expensive quotes for a small standalone loan, and existing borrowing was spread across several properties and facilities without making full use of the equity in the portfolio.
- The healthcare business completed the £2m refinancing, owning the Bristol premises outright with a simplified single-facility structure and two unencumbered properties for future flexibility. This is a historical, case-specific account dated January 2025, not evidence of current terms or a guarantee that another business will qualify.

- Challenge
- According to Clifton Private Finance’s January 2025 account, an established healthcare business with sites across the UK sought roughly £400,000 to purchase the Bristol office it was leasing, while already owning commercial premises in London and Birmingham. The directors had received expensive quotes for a small standalone loan, and existing borrowing was spread across several properties and facilities without making full use of the equity in the portfolio.
- Solution
- Rather than arrange the standalone mortgage, Clifton Private Finance, the arranging team named in the original account, proposed consolidating the company’s commercial borrowing into one owner-occupied facility secured against the London property — the strongest security asset — releasing equity to buy the Bristol office outright and clearing the charge on the Birmingham office. Clifton International is publishing an attributed summary of that external account; this is not a Clifton International transaction.
- Funding structure
- The source reports a £2m owner-occupied commercial mortgage over a 15-year term, secured by a single charge on the London property. The restructuring left the Birmingham and Bristol offices unencumbered. Historical interest-rate details and lender terms are intentionally not reproduced; no current pricing or exact loan-to-value is inferred.
- Outcome
- The healthcare business completed the £2m refinancing, owning the Bristol premises outright with a simplified single-facility structure and two unencumbered properties for future flexibility. This is a historical, case-specific account dated January 2025, not evidence of current terms or a guarantee that another business will qualify.
