The current sector-wide supply and demand imbalance within the student housing sector, in Avamore’s eyes, can be rectified by the refurbishment of existing 1st generation PBSA stock along with the repurposing and retrofitting of existing office/commercial stock. Our extensive experience in heavy residential refurbishments and office-to-resi PD conversions means we can offer developers the right support.
Speak to Avamore today if you have a scheme you’d like to discuss.
*BBR added onto the quoted Avamore rate and is fixed upon completion.
The PBSA product is applicable for any residential or commercial refurbishment scheme which results in the creation of residential student accommodation.
Standard pricing is 7% p.a. + BBR. In addition, the maximum day 1 LTV is 75% across light, medium and heavy works. The Planning Flexibility feature allows an additional build facility for enhanced or modified planning. A developer can either have submitted plans or be considering further works in order for a discretionary facility to be included and unlocked only when planning is gained. It can also be used if the developer is waiting for final sign offs on planning and would otherwise have to take an initial bridge loan.

Once the Enquiry Form has been returned, your Internal Relationship Manager will package the deal to share with our Credit Analysts for a more detailed assessment.
At this stage, the transaction is reviewed by members of Avamore’s Credit Committee. At this stage, Heads of Terms, or a Decision in Principle is issued and the Formal Application Form is shared.
Once the Application Form has been completed in full and returned, the Credit Analysis Team will review the information and then request quotes from relevant 3rd party professionals.
At the same time, the KYC process will begin and at this stage, the Analysts will need to liaise directly with the borrower. Ensuring that this is completed as quickly as possible is key, any delays in providing information could push out the transaction timescale.
Once quotes have been returned, fees are agreed, and the professionals are instructed.
The case is then handed over to Underwriting.
After the case has been handed over, you will be introduced to your dedicated Underwriter who will complete the deal.
It is important at this stage that the borrower is prepared to provide any necessary information to the Underwriter and 3rd party professionals. It is useful to get ahead and gather required items early on; take a look at our list of essential points below.
The speed at which detail is shared throughout this stage will determine how quickly the case can complete.
Once all internal checks have been completed and final professional reports are satisfactory, the loan can complete.
Following completion of the loan, the borrower will receive their day one funds. After this, they will be introduced to their dedicated Asset Manager who will be the main point of contact moving forwards.
The Asset Manager will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the loan, issuing drawdowns and arranging redemption when the time comes. They are also well placed to advise on your next step once the loan redeems.
