9. THE 2013 FUNDING MARKET
The market is definitely improving but when lenders themselves are unsure of
their criteria it’s ensuring that you have multiple options that will deliver success.
- Competition: Lenders are starting to compete so margin are improving
- Lender type Retail banks still important but new lenders are valuable
- Re-financing: £150bn of UK lending needs to be re-financed in 2013/14/15
- Regulatory: Basel II & III taking grip of EU liquidity and wholesale markets
- Divestment: Retails banks continue to force borrowers out the door
- FFL & LTRO: ECB & BoE initiatives starting to have traction at ground level
- Cash Flow: An encouragingly competitive market for Asset Based Lending
9
10. TREASURY / HEDGING
When the market was at its busiest the BoEBR peaked at 5.0%, Libor was
usually higher by 0.2%, and margins ranged from 0.8% through to 2.0%. Fixed
rate products cost more and were locked in on terms from 2 to 20 years and
sometimes longer depending on the risk.
We are nearing a period where a lot of the fixed rates agreed at the peak of the
market are due to expire which is good news for borrowers but less beneficial for
lenders.
The miss-selling of interest rate swaps has had a significant impact with the
majority of lenders now having subscribed to an FSA driven initiative to support
borrowers.
As opposed to 2005/06 now really is the time to fix or hedge term lending:
As an example one of the retail banks can provide low margins on SME debt
lending, therefore after adding 3yr fixed cost of funds would be 3.7% (circa 1.2%
for cost of funds and 2.5% margin). 10
11. OLD MARKET v NEW MARKET
Component Old Market New Market Notes
Arrangement Fees 0.50% to 1.50% 0.50% to 2.00% Up
Margin 0.30% to 2.00% 1.50% to 4.00% Up
Cost of funds 5.00% to 5.30% 0.50% to 0.60% Down
LTV's Max of 85% Max of 80% Down
Term Max of 15 Years Max of 25 years Down
DSCR 110% - 7% - 25yr 110% - 8% - 15yr Up
Security 1st charge, B+F & PG First charge & B+F PGs not favoured
Debt servicing calculations n the current market are driving down loan amounts. As
for example retail banks will stress test loans based on a rate of 8% with cover of
110% on a short loan profile of 15yrs.
To compound calculations further lenders will also sensitise profits for SME’s and
rental income for property investment by as much as 20%.
