How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us about the deal

    Share the property, the loan you need and your exit. We come back with indicative terms.

  2. 2

    Agree terms

    Accept the terms, complete a short application and provide ID and supporting documents.

  3. 3

    Valuation & legals

    An independent RICS valuer reports on the property, by desktop valuation where possible, while solicitors complete the legal work.

  4. 4

    Completion

    Funds are released on completion. Works funding is drawn in stages as the project progresses.

Interest options

Retained
