Dyke Road Avenue, Hove - Phase D

Investment Summary

Overview – Investors in this opportunity will fund the development costs of a new contemporary house set over two stories and a basement (otherwise known as “the Property”). The Property comprises a rear plot of land with planning consent. The Property is located within an established and sought after high-value residential area in Hove. The subject plot is elevated and has far-reaching views across the southwest of Hove and Shoreham towards the sea.

Term – The estimated term for this investment is 9-11 months. Practical completion is envisaged for December 2023. If the loan is not repaid by the end of the estimated term, returns will accrue on investments for up to 12 months from the end of the estimated term up until the hard stop date (February 2025). 

Plan – The developer already owns the site (purchased in 2021) and the initial phase of funding (Phase A) was used to refinance the existing lender. Phase B and C were used to fund the development costs. This phase will also be used to fund the development costs and later phases of this opportunity will launch on the platform over the coming months throughout the development term. Full planning permission has been approved for the new detached dwelling over two stories and a basement amounting to approximately 5,179 sq ft. The Borrower now has planning permission approved (for a section 73 amendment), to change the use of the subterranean element (to use 400sq.ft of the existing 800sq.ft as habitable space). To date, the Borrower has cleared the site, completed basement evacuation and formed road access, allowing the construction to start. 

Location –  In the valuation report, Savills stated that Dyke Road Avenue is considered to be one of the best roads in Hove characterised by large detached dwellings, it is generally an aspirational place to live. The Property is located in the Hove area of Brighton, generally a more expensive residential area and popular with a more village feel to it than the City Centre areas. Hove enjoys the Brighton coastline and sea views. The area is very popular with families as local schools are reportedly well thought of with good access to several well renowned private schools in the country, including Lancing Prep and Brighton College. The Property also benefits from good transport links.

Your Investment – CapitalRise investors will benefit from a First Legal Charge over the property, assignment of construction contract (If applicable) and collateral warranties as guided by our project monitor. Investments will always be first in line to be repaid when a payment is made against the loan. In the event of a forced sale of the Property, CapitalRise investors would recover their investment first and if the borrower is unable to repay the loan, CapitalRise will seek to force the sale of the Property on behalf of investors. If a sale is achieved the value would need to be less than 68% of the anticipated market value before your invested capital and accrued return are at risk
