The funding will support assets including ROCO, a residential scheme in Liverpool city centre.

The three-year funding supports three BTR assets, with facilities structured at 65% LTV.

The deal also includes a temporary increase to 70% LTV through bespoke structuring tailored to the borrower’s requirements.

The transaction establishes a new relationship between STB Real Estate Finance and Livingway, following discussions that first began in early 2025.

Nigel Fisch, CEO at Livingway, commented: “This deal represents an important step for Livingway as we continue to grow our portfolio across key regional cities.

“From the outset, STB understood both our operational model and the importance we place on resident experience.

“This allowed us to structure facilities that aligned with our long-term objectives of meeting the needs of today’s renters and to create homes which supply exemplary living spaces and unique experiences, empowering our residents to be together and live life.”

Mike Feasey, relationship director at STB Real Estate Finance, said: “Livingway has built a compelling operational model within the BTR sector, underpinned by a genuine resident-first approach and a strong long-term vision for the portfolio.

“It was clear that flexibility and collaboration would be key to delivering the right outcome, so we worked closely with the client to structure facilities that supported its objectives while reflecting the strength of the underlying assets and business model.”
