Services
Commercial Property Loans
We arrange commercial property loans for offices, retail spaces, industrial units, and leisure properties. Our solutions cater to businesses seeking acquisition, expansion, or relocation financing. Loans range from 100,000 to 5,000,000 with terms up to 24 months, requiring at least 40% commercial use for bridging options.
Bridging Loans
Bridging loans provide rapid funding for property purchases, renovations, or tax liabilities. Available from 100,000 to 5,000,000, these loans feature flexible exit strategies and monthly interest rates between 0.7% and 1.3%. Ideal for auction purchases requiring completion within 28 days.
Auction Finance
Specialist auction finance enables quick property acquisitions at competitive rates. We offer pre-auction agreements in principle and post-win funding within 2-14 days. Loans cover residential, semi-residential, and commercial properties with LTV up to 75% including fees.
Investment Property Loans
Tailored loans for property refurbishment, self-builds, and portfolio expansions. Short-term structures (up to 24 months) support rapid project initiation. Lenders assess based on property value rather than borrower income, with interest rolled-up for convenience.
Development Finance
Development finance solutions support ground-up construction and major renovations. We connect clients with lenders accepting properties needing significant repair. Loan-to-value ratios reach 75% of market value, with terms allowing completion before traditional mortgage refinancing.

Applications complete within days, with funds available in 2-14 days depending on requirements. Pre-auction agreements in principle can be issued before bidding.
