We are a private debt group providing simple and fast property loans.
As a lender, we think it is crucial to know why we do what we do. You can find out more here, but these are our “Whys”:
1. We aim to support hundreds of entrepreneurial developers create dream properties for renters or buyers
2. We aim to give investors a decent return on their hard-earned money, including many of our team members, well beyond typical bank deposit rates
3. We aim to give bright, energetic, ethical people a chance at a new career as we build our team outside of normal hiring routes for careers in finance
4. We will give 10% of our pre-tax profits to worthy causes in our communities - to find out more, check out our Think Further page
Property lending can be overly slow and complex when it doesn’t need to be! We think too many borrowers get let down by lenders that treat them like underwriting checklists rather than partners.
We think differently. Our aim is to see every borrower succeed, so we take a pragmatic approach to lending to help get loans over the line, using our extensive property expertise to curate loans that meet each borrower’s needs.
Nobody goes into a property deal expecting issues, but we all know they can arise. We always look to work with our borrowers to find solutions to tricky situations, from restructuring loans to giving generous extension terms to help when projects get delayed.
We regularly complete loans in under 10 working days. We deliver on speed when others can't.
Whoever you want to speak to - and at any point in the loan process - we're only a phone call away. Many borrowers choose us for our customer service because we take a truly personal approach to lending, tailored specifically to each borrower and broker.
Property finance doesn't need to be complicated, so we keep things simple! From inquiry all the way to completion and redemption, our process is straightforward and easy to follow.
Unlike other lenders, we lend with our own money. This means we're aligned with you to see you succeed. Other lenders put burdensome covenants into their loan agreements which could lead to funding being pulled at any time. We don't.

We provide Senior Development Loans for up to 18 months on almost any residential project with development costs under £1.5m. As we lend on small- to medium-sized projects, we’re still able to complete in market-beating times where required.

One such Senior Development Loan was against a block of new-build apartments in Poole. The development proposal changed during the loan, and our flexibility enabled us to meet the borrower’s changing needs during the term.
If you have a project – involving a major refurb, conversion or extension – and require funds for both the purchase (i.e. on day 1) and the development work (i.e. loan drawdowns), then our Light Development Loan is for you. Even with drawdowns, we make the process as simple as possible. And for these projects, we typically don’t even require monitoring surveys, either.

On this loan, we had a borrower who required a Light Development Loan to purchase an ex-semi commercial unit to convert into flats. They needed funds very quickly, and we were able to structure a deal to provide the loan needed.
If you have your eyes set on a property soon to go under-the-hammer, then our Auction Bridging Loan enables you to go into the auction with confidence. We’ll arrange terms with you up front, so that you know exactly what you can afford to pay. And given the speed with which we complete on loans, delivering on the finance after you’ve secured the property won’t be a problem.

Here we had a borrower looking to purchase an HMO at auction. We agreed terms upfront, and after the borrower was successful at auction, we completed just a few days later.
If you’re looking for a straightforward, short-term loan against a UK property that you own – or are about to purchase – then our Residential Bridge is for you. We provide terms up to 15 months to help you bridge your funding gap, whether it’s a house sale, refinance, or an other source of funding that’s just a few months down the road.

Here’s an example of one of our Residential Bridging Loans, on a house in Croydon. Our borrower needed a 6 month loan to purchase a property before selling it on to other developers.
Our Refurb Bridging Loan is for projects where the borrower is looking to refurbish, convert or extend a property. We provide up to 70% of the purchase price on day 1, and the borrower then provides the funding themselves for any work required. Because of this, developers typically love this product when the refurb or conversion costs are small, as it enables them to maximise their day 1 funding.

We recently lent to a developer who was looking to convert a house in Oxfordshire into an HMO. They had the funds for the conversion, so just needed as much on day 1 to help with the purchase costs. We provided 70% LTV even though another lender had down-valued the property.
