Services
Secured Loans
Secured loans use property as collateral to access funds from 5,000 to 50 million. These loans suit homeowners needing substantial financing for debt consolidation, home improvements, or business purposes. Our process ensures competitive rates while maintaining FCA regulatory compliance for consumer protection.
Bridging Loans
Bridging loans provide temporary funding solutions for property transactions, with amounts ranging from 50,000 to 50 million. Ideal for property chain breaks, auction purchases, or urgent acquisitions. We offer both regulated and commercial bridging options with flexible repayment terms.
Specialist Mortgages
Specialist mortgages cater to non-standard applicants including buy-to-let investors, self-employed individuals, and those with adverse credit histories. Our panel includes lenders offering bespoke solutions for complex cases, including right-to-buy and shared ownership arrangements.
Development Finance
Development finance supports property development projects with loan amounts up to 50 million. This service caters to residential and commercial developments, offering staged funding releases aligned with project milestones. Applications require detailed development plans and exit strategies.
Asset Finance
Asset finance enables businesses to acquire essential equipment through secured financing arrangements. This solution preserves cash flow while allowing companies to spread equipment costs over time. We work with specialist lenders to provide tailored financing for machinery, vehicles, and technology.
