The proposed development comprised three commercial units and five self-contained residential apartments, creating a project with significant value creation potential in a well-established London location.
Our approach
Looking beyond the site value.
We assessed the opportunity by considering the quality of the location, the planning consent, the proposed development strategy and the borrower’s experience.

As an owner-funded lender, decisions were made directly by the people providing the capital, enabling a straightforward process and certainty from enquiry through to completion.
