Expert finance underpinned by a strong relationship

B-Property, a seasoned developer with a track record of delivering quality housing projects, has secured our funding for its latest venture, a new housing development within the Chesterton Conservation Area in Cambridge. The £2.4m loan was agreed at 65% LTGDV for a term of 18 months. 

The five-unit development comprises of two semi-detached and two detached houses in a private close, each with their own parking space – a sought-after feature in the Cambridge housing market. The development saw the demolition of a single house to construct five new properties, contributing to the demand for new housing in the area. 

This collaboration marks our second scheme with B-Property, following the successful completion of their previous project. We have built a strong relationship with the developers, ensuring we have been alongside them throughout the loan term, which included regular site visits from our Relationship Director and Portfolio Manager.

We are delighted to have secured funding from Shawbrook for our latest housing project. Their continued support and bespoke funding facility has allowed us to progress the project smoothly and we’re excited to see the development completed this year, contributing to the development of much-needed housing in the area.

Our focus on strong relationships and reliable finance solutions have played a crucial role in the smooth advancement of this project. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting its future projects from blueprint to reality.”
