Product availability and leverage may reduce depending on asset type, location, valuation basis, borrower profile, exit route, legal position and funding requirements.

Property types.

We focus on property-backed lending where value, security and exit can be properly evidenced.

Residential investment

Investment property, buy-to-let, portfolios and non-owner-occupied residential assets.

Mixed-use

Semi-commercial property where the income, use, title and marketability are clear.

Commercial

Commercial assets considered where the security, tenant profile, use and exit are acceptable.

Refurbishment

Works-led transactions with a credible borrower, budget, programme and monitoring approach.

Auction purchase

Time-sensitive acquisitions where the completion deadline and funding requirement are clear.

Portfolio cases

Multiple assets considered where title, valuation and security structure are manageable.

What we avoid.
