Do you fund the development of commercial pre-let property?

This is a question we are often asked and the answer is YES! We will consider loans for experienced landlords and investors across the UK up to a max LTGDV of 65% (typically 85% of costs). This includes retail, office, industrial and mixed use portfolios, for loans between £1m-£25m.

With the announcement of the Stamp Duty Holiday to be extended, industry leaders shared their views.

Frank Pennal commented "Extending the stamp duty holiday is a very sensible move – ensuring the estimated 193,198 sales currently in the pipeline are not lost when lockdown is fully lifted will mean ‘normal’ market conditions can resume. The property industry has been an engine for economic growth during the pandemic and this decision will enable that momentum to continue.”

Last week we celebrated National Apprenticeship Week. We are proud to support school leavers with our Aspire Programme, which launched in 2013 and gives young people the opportunity to gain experience across different business areas across the bank.

Our lending assistant Harry Pennells, talks us through his journey from the programme to his current position in the Property team. Link to this interview in our bio.

We are proud to be supporting National Apprenticeship Week and helping to #BuildtheFuture by continuing to offer new apprenticeships.

In our own research, we have found that a third of SME housebuilders employ apprentices and train new employees, and they make up 19% of their workforce, on average (just under 1 in 5 employees). Since 2015, Close Brothers has been helping fund new apprenticeships through our SME Apprentice Programme. We are now in the fifth phase and the programme is just one of the ways we continue to help SMEs and their local communities to grow and thrive.

While this has been a turbulent time, the resilience and innovation seen from the housebuilding sector has been incredible to witness. The industry has demonstrated its tenacity and triumphed against the odds.

With the vaccine roll out well underway there is light at the end of the tunnel, we are hopeful that 2021 will be the year to “build, build, build” and we look forward to continuing our support of the housebuilding industry.

Our London-based SME housebuilding client Goldrose Sharpe Developments Ltd posted record results last year and argue that the Brexit referendum was worse for their business than the pandemic.

Read why in our link in bio with Property Investor Today’s interview with Daniel Goldsmith and Paresh Chandegra.

Director Daniel Joyce and the team Close Brothers Property Finance has been supporting Goldrose Sharpe for the last two years and have been integral to the delivery of three new build schemes.

Call for Action for the Next Generation!

The housebuilding sector has proven to be one of the most resilient industries in the UK over the last year, however the Home Builders Federation indicates that close to a 1/3 of the workforce will be retiring over the coming years.

We are calling for action, to support the next generation of house builders and help understand the barriers in their way.

We are asking for young housebuilding professionals (ideally under 35 years old) in the industry to complete our 7 minute survey (link in our bio)

Please share with anyone who meets the criteria and together we can ensure the housebuilding industry continues to thrive.
