We've just closed a £1,046,523 facility at 56% LTV to unlock a consented 13-home scheme in Hever, Kent.
The borrower consortium—Highbrook, Horde and Trident Property Construction—purchased a planning-consented scheme in one of Kent's most sought-after commuter villages. Our staged facility provides immediate bridging for land acquisition, then transitions seamlessly into development finance for the build phase.
Developing 13 homes in Hever—which sits within the Metropolitan Green Belt—is an exciting project in one of the UK's most tightly controlled planning zones.
Thanks to Willow Isle Capital, Glovers, Russell-Cooke Solicitors, Strutt & Parker, MDA Consulting, and our Origination team: Jacky Chan, Oliver Boag MRICS, Jonathan Self and Luca Shah, for swift execution on a complex multi-party structure.
