View Case StudiesAuction Purchases
The moment the hammer falls, you've exchanged contracts. We provide reliable, fast finance to complete — even when you call us late in the process.
Development & Refurbishment
Up to 100% of building costs for new builds, conversions and refurbishments. One call, an assessment, and a solution at lightning speed.
Capital Raising & Refinancing
Loans against existing property or portfolios for any purpose — from onward purchases to personal capital. Assessed on merit, funded fast.
Purchasing at a discount to value
Where you've added value between exchange and completion — through planning gain or refurbishment — we lend against the property's value, not the purchase price. At times we can lend as much as 90% of purchase price.
Assessed on merit, funded fast
Around 40% of our borrowers at any given time are repeat clients or referrals from existing borrowers — the result of doing exactly what we say we will do.
