Meet Ali, founder of Dandi Group
Wanting to elevate the experience of London studio living, our funding and specialist sector knowledge helped Ali achieve his goals to create homes that are both functional and beautiful.
Because I’ve lived in studio flats, historically, when you have guests back home, and then you open the door there’s a bed there, and you have to squeeze your way in as well. I always had in the back of my mind that I should do something to bring dignity back to people who live in studio flats. This is London, the most desired city on Earth and property should reflect that.
That element of surprise, magic, is what we’re about at Dandi. The space revolves around your very needs throughout the day, it can be a bedroom, switch to a living room, switch to an office or a dining room, all in one. One of the ways of me achieving my goal is having lenders like OakNorth, so I can execute my dream. There’s lots of financial institutions who are more restricted to one-off loans. I find that with OakNorth they’ve got a deeper ability to assist for numerous projects.
It means that it allows me to go out there and be more aggressive in reaching my goal, instead of waiting for projects to complete, they actually assist you with the second, third, and fourth, as long as it makes sense. That’s what you need as a serious player in the property market.
One thing that pleasantly surprised me is the fact that the boss himself attended a site visit, he was curious to see what we’re about and you don’t get that with other lenders. And I suppose you only do that when you are really fully dedicated and say, ‘Look, we’re behind you. We get you.’ They’re always on the other side of the line. I don’t recall having ever had an issue getting hold of someone at OakNorth. It is very frustrating when I have to leave four, five, six messages or emails for the bank director that I’ve known for 15 years to call me back. So that’s the good thing about OakNorth, they’re always there.
There’s a constant demand for rental homes in the UK. Investing in property with a loan can help you release capital for your business to leverage in other growth areas, and depending on your rental income, you could find that the property pays for itself. So, if there’s a great investment opportunity to expand your portfolio, don’t miss out due to working capital restraints. Not sure if it’s the right fit for you? Check out our guide to property investment loans for more information.
