Christie Finance facilitates refinance of children’s day nursery in historic former dairy
Christie Finance is pleased to announce the successful refinance of a children’s day nursery located in Letchworth Garden City’s conservation area.
Christie Finance
Our client and his family lived in the main house after buying it in 2005. One of the outbuildings, originally a dairy, was granted planning permission to operate as a nursery in 1989. In 2006, further permission was approved to expand the premises and convert an additional outbuilding to increase nursery capacity.
Kent Atkinson, Director of Glebe Kids Nursery & Play Centre, comments, “We were delighted to work with Catherine Cattermole at Christie Finance on this refinance. It was a complex transaction with multiple moving parts, but Cat provided invaluable support throughout. Her clear communication, expert knowledge, and calm professionalism ensured we navigated the process smoothly.“
Catherine Cattermole, Finance Consultant at Christie Finance, comments, “Glebe Kids is operated partly from a former residential property, which introduced unique challenges when refinancing for commercial purposes. It was essential to identify a lender who could accommodate the nuanced requirements of this deal. Close collaboration with all parties enabled us to structure a solution that met the client’s needs and delivered an outcome within very tight timescales.”
This transaction highlights Christie Finance’s commitment to delivering tailored funding solutions, even in complex scenarios, to support the continued growth and development of childcare providers across the UK.
