Investec Structured Property Finance has committed to provide over £400m in senior loan facilities in the first half of 2017.

Investec has lent against numerous high quality real estate schemes across the UK in an increasingly diverse mix of use classes including residential and commercial.

Gary Dobson, head of Investec Structured Property Finance, said: “Favourable fiscal policy continues to support both new and established borrowers of commercial real estate development.

“We are confident in the prospects for the second half of the year, leveraging both our existing relationships and the strength of the team.”

Investec say the demand continues for prime residential zone two to six London locations.

Mark Bladon, co-head of origination at Investec Structured Property Finance, added: “Whilst the London residential market remains buoyant and our core area of focus, we have seen a number of new trends emerging during the period as our client base continues to diversify.

“In particular, our ability and expertise in dealing with real estate private equity funds across the bank enables us to offer innovative and flexible finance solutions including asset level debt, fund level facilities and strategic hedging, providing a full client offering.”
