Refinance your property company: reinvest without selling anything

SCI, SARL or holding company: your company owns properties that are paid off, or nearly. That value can finance your next purchase, your works or upstream funds, without selling anything. Hyppo, as a broker, seeks the financing for your company.

  • SCI, SARL or holding company, under income tax or corporation tax
  • Amortising or interest-only
  • From €100,000 to €20M
In brief

Your family holding company owns buildings, flats or premises that are wholly or partly paid off. That value is sitting idle. Refinancing turns it into cash, without selling anything.

Hyppo is a broker: it does not lend. It builds the company's file with you and compares offers among more than 65 partner banks. For a first purchase or works through an SCI, see also our page SCI property loan.

Your projects

For which projects?

  • Buy a new building or new units.

  • Renovate the existing portfolio to let it better.

  • Upstream funds to the holding company or repay a shareholder current account.

  • Restructure an existing debt, bought out by the new loan.

As a guide: residential, commercial or office property, and financing from €100,000 to €20M. For rental property, financing can go up to 110%, depending on the file. Each file is assessed case by case.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Another question about your situation? A Hyppo adviser will answer.

Amortising or interest-only: which to choose?

With an amortising loan, the company repays part of the capital and the interest each month. With an interest-only loan, it pays only the interest and repays the capital in one go at the end, for example from the sale of a property. Interest-only preserves cash but costs more interest over the term.

Do the properties have to be unencumbered?

No. An existing loan on a property is bought out by the new loan. The company then has what is left once that loan is paid off.

What guarantees are required?

Most often a mortgage on the refinanced properties. Depending on the file, it may also be a pledge of company shares or a trust, and sometimes personal guarantees from the partners. No investment or account transfer is required in return.

How much does Hyppo's support cost?

Hyppo's fees range from 1% to 6% of the amount financed and are due only after the funds are released. Arrangement fees and the valuation of the properties remain at the company's expense. Proof of the use of funds is required.
