I would not hesitate to approach Hydra Capital again should refinancing be needed.

“I am delighted to recommend Hydra Capital having successfully refinanced a London portfolio with £34m of debt arranged by working with Demi.  I first met Demi when he was a Director at Metrobank. Despite us not working together on that occasion, we maintained contact and I remained impressed with his approach and took his advice at face value as a friend.

Once timelines were confirmed for my refinance in January 2021, Demi took the time to fully understand the requirements I wanted relating to the term, margin, and security package on offer. Once these parameters were clear, he approached a handful of lenders with whom he had a good working relationship on the basis that they would be a good fit with me. We quickly agreed together on one of these lenders and at this point, Demi really impressed as he was instrumental in putting together the rest of the team – with direct input on our choice of solicitor, valuer, and liaising with the lender’s solicitor. He maintained a high-level line of dialogue with the lender throughout and his opinions and comments were well received by both sides.

Demi has an extremely personable and pragmatic approach. He cuts out the tedious and onerous whilst remaining focused on agreeing on terms that are mutually agreeable and sustainable for the lender and his client. He has acted on behalf of a lender in his previous roles so is particularly well placed to gauge how to proceed with the right lender and get the deal done. He has never overcomplicated matters and streamlined the process with confidence – a sentiment shared also by our solicitors and also the lender. Having previously worked with lenders directly and also other brokers, I would not hesitate to approach Hydra Capital again should refinancing be needed.”
