When to bring the scenario to Charles Frank
The strongest early conversations identify the client objective and the feature that makes a specialist route worth exploring.
Auction purchase
A fixed completion timetable needs early review of the legal pack, security, funds required and exit route.
Chain break
The onward purchase needs to complete before an existing property sale has finished.
Refurbishment
The property or proposed works prevent an immediate move onto suitable longer-term lending.
Commercial or mixed use
A trading, investment or semi-commercial asset requires short-term funding around a defined event.
A useful first view
Four parts of the case need to connect
Specialist packaging works best when the facts explain one another. The portal helps keep the initial position and subsequent requirements in the same workflow.
Walk through the portalSecurity
Property type, condition, tenure, value and marketability determine which lenders can engage.
Net funds required
The required net advance must be considered alongside retained interest, lender fees and transaction costs.
Deadline
The completion date, reason for urgency and readiness of valuation and legal work need to align.
Exit
The primary repayment route, supporting evidence, time allowance and fallback plan are pressure-tested.

- Property address, use, condition and transaction details
- Purchase price or estimated value and the amount required
- Target completion date and the reason it matters
- Evidence supporting the primary and fallback exits
- Costed schedule and timescale for any proposed works
- Borrower, company and portfolio details where relevant
Partner questions
Useful context before the first conversation
Product and lender criteria change. A portal demonstration shows how current scenarios move into the specialist workflow.
Ideally before bidding. That creates time to review the property, legal pack, funding contribution and exit without treating an indicative conversation as a guaranteed completion.
