Cohort Capital provided a £12.5 million bridging loan to facilitate the acquisition of a property on Charles Street and Hays Mews in Mayfair, under a tight deadline. The borrower selected Cohort over a traditional lender due to the need for speed and certainty of execution, qualities that are central to Cohort’s lending approach.

Originally built in 1753, the  Grade II listed ambassadorial mansion showcases a Queen Anne façade, behind which developers have undertaken a comprehensive redevelopment. It includes a rear mews house connected over three levels, combining heritage architecture with modern functionality in one of London’s most prestigious addresses.

Cohort’s facility enabled the borrower to secure the asset within the required timeframe, with the exit to be through refinancing with a traditional mortgage provider. The transaction reflects Cohort Capital’s ability to deliver fast, flexible bridging loan solutions for high-value acquisitions, particularly where timing and asset quality are critical.
