We strive to be the go-to industry partner, fuelling property professionals’ real estate ambitions while meaningfully rewarding them for using sustainable building practices. All of our interactions with you are guided by three core values:
Our team of highly experienced professionals is dedicated to crafting tailored solutions that match your needs. We leverage our deep knowledge to deliver funding solutions.
Unlike traditional banks, we take pride in our commitment to quick and transparent decision-making processes. There are no hidden risks or convoluted underwriting departments to contend with, and we don't spring any last-minute changes.
With decades of industry experience, we understand that real estate developments can encounter unforeseen challenges and external events. We stand by your side, working collaboratively to navigate any issues that may arise.
We focus on a suite of property finance solutions tailored to meet the needs of experienced UK property developers and brokers across the UK. We lend on residential, mixed-use, student accommodation and commercial. We focus mainly on residential loans between £2-30m, with the ability to do more. Up to 85% loan to cost and 65% of GDV*, with the ability to go higher selectively for the right borrower/transaction.
In times when you require short-term financing to bridge gaps or capitalise on opportunities, our Bridging solutions provide the necessary capital quickly and efficiently. Our transparent processes ensure you have the support you need, when you need it.
We provide unregulated, first charge development facilities for up to 36 months across the whole of the UK (excluding Northern Ireland).
These loans are designed to provide developers with the financial flexibility and support needed to bring their projects to fruition. With competitive terms and a deep understanding of the industry, we empower your development ambitions.
As sustainability becomes increasingly critical in real estate, our specialised loan product focuses on rewarding developers for more sustainable building practices. All eligible development loans qualify for an interest rebate of 25bps to 100bps on drawn funds based on meeting certain sustainability criteria.
We provide unregulated, first charge development exit loans for up to 12 months.
When it’s time to transition from the development phase to the next stage of your project’s lifecycle, our Development Exit solutions offer you a seamless path forward. We assist in ensuring a smooth transition and a successful exit strategy.
