When was the business founded?
The business was founded by 3 experienced property investors/developers in 2013, as a response to the lack of suitable finance options for small and medium sized property developers.
What type of lender are you?
Non-Bank.
How are you funded?
We are funded by global investment managers, family offices, funds, high net worth individuals and private investors, giving us diverse sources of committed capital to support property developers - even in uncertain times, as proven with perfect reliability of capital throughout the pandemic. We underwrite the projects with no time-consuming second-tier underwriting by our capital sources.
How would you describe your approach to loan underwriting?
Our distinct ‘Property Finance by Property People’ positioning means we focus on what’s most important to developers – swift, transparent, reliable and expertise-based decisions giving developers we work with advantage in closing deals. Our underwriting process combines market-leading data and years of real-world, on-the-ground property development experience that ensures a depth of understanding of what the developer is trying to achieve, no matter how complex. We will consider developers with limited experience if they can demonstrate they have the passion, a robust plan, and the right people around them. Clearly the development needs to stack up too.
Why should a borrower use you over other lenders?
- Speed: It takes less than 5 minutes to apply - we have a support team dedicated to issuing indicative decisions within hours (not days nor weeks), to give developers advantage in negotiating with vendors.
- Ease: Our process is easy to understand and follow – we only do property development finance, so we know how to get stuff done in this space, without distraction.
- Certainty of funding and pricing: We have diverse committed sources of capital not linked to BoE base rates, so our pricing is fixed throughout the project (and between offer and completion).
- Transparency: We don’t do hidden fees that are rife in the sector, and we certainly won’t eat into projected profits
- Expertise: We live up to our unique ‘Property Finance by Property People’ with our team of passionate property experts, including RICS qualified surveyors, who like to come to site, meet the team and understand the challenges you face. You’ll speak directly to the experts underwriting your deals and have access to the decision makers.
- One-Stop-Shop: Our development, bridging and uniquely integrated mezzanine finance offering brings senior and junior finance under one roof – a single lender across all your project funding needs
