Abstract: Given a commutative unital ring $R$, we show that the finiteness length of a group $G$ is bounded above by the finiteness length of the Borel subgroup of rank one $$ whenever $G$ admits certain $R$-representations with metabelian image. Combined with results due to Bestvina--Eskin--Wortman and Gandini, this gives a new proof of (a generalization of) Bux's equality on the finiteness length of $S$-arithmetic Borel groups. We also give an alternative proof of an unpublished theorem due to Strebel, characterizing finite presentability of Abels' groups $mathbf{A}_n(R)leqmathrm{GL}_n(R)$ in terms of $n$ and $mathbf{B}_2^{c}irc(R)$. This generalizes earlier results due to Remeslennikov, Holz, Lyul'ko, Cornulier--Tessera, and points out to a conjecture about the finiteness length of such groups.
