Bank beefs up help for big-scale investors and landlords

Shawbrook is enhancing its support for professional landlords and property investors seeking larger, more complex financing solutions, increasing its maximum loan size to £35m and launching a new team for big-ticket loans. 

The new Structured Real Estate team will provide a personalised and expert-driven approach offering what the bank calls “flexible solutions, including the ability to take cases to credit approval before valuation, providing valuable certainty early on.”

By combining its expanded lending capacity with expert guidance and personalised service, Shawbrook hopes to strengthen its position as a valuable partner for property investors seeking portfolio growth or navigating complex finance.

Borrowers securing loans exceeding £5m (Buy to Let and Commercial) and £2.5m (Bridging) will benefit from a dedicated relationship manager who will shepherd their deal through the entire process.

Rates are: five-year fixed rates starting from 5.49% for Buy-to-Let Mortgages, 7.24% for Commercial loans and 6.34% for Semi-Commercial loans (from £5m to £35m) and bridging loans from 0.69% per month.

Emma Cox, managing director of real estate at Shawbrook, comments: "Finance at the top-end of the market can be a labyrinth, requiring a keen eye and deep understanding to navigate successfully. That's exactly why we’ve introduced a Structured Real Estate team and offering, as we want things to be straightforward for our brokers and their customers with flexible financing built around specific needs and delivered with a personal touch. Our commitment to premium case management means there will always be direct line to our team of experts."
