For more than half a century, Close Brothers Property Finance has been helping property developers and SME housebuilders bring their visions to life.

From small residential schemes to larger-scale developments, we've proudly supported generations of housebuilders across the UK, providing the specialist property development finance, expertise and long-term relationships needed to deliver thousands of new homes.

Our latest video showcases the breadth of projects we're funding today, taking you behind the scenes at developments across the country and, most importantly, giving a voice to the customers we are privileged to work alongside.

More Than a Lender

At Close Brothers, we believe property finance is about more than funding. It's about understanding our customers' ambitions, responding quickly when opportunities arise, and building lasting relationships that stand the test of time.

Throughout the video, our customers share their experiences of working with us, highlighting the qualities that have helped define our business for decades:

  • Fast, reliable decision-making

  • Flexible funding solutions

  • Deep understanding of the property market

  • Long-term commitment through economic cycles

  • A genuine partnership approach

As one customer explains, "Without their support, we wouldn't be here today."

Funding Britain's Housebuilders

The UK's SME housebuilders play a vital role in delivering new homes, creating jobs and supporting local communities.

We're proud to have supported this sector through changing market conditions, helping developers navigate opportunities and challenges alike. Our customers know they can rely on a lending partner that understands their business, remains active through good times and bad, and takes a long-term view.

Whether it's development finance, bridging finance, commercial investment lending, Build to Rent or purpose-built student accommodation, our focus has always been on helping ambitious property professionals achieve their goals.

Looking Ahead

While we're proud of our history, we're equally excited about the future.

As the property market evolves, our commitment remains the same: to provide the expertise, flexibility and personal service our customers value while continuing to support the next generation of developers and housebuilders.

Thank you to all of the customers featured in this video. We look forward to continuing our journey together and supporting the delivery of new homes and places for many years to come.
