The funding — which starts at £15m, with an intention to grow this over time — will enable Clearwell Capital to further expand its support to small- and medium-sized developers who are looking for finance to help them build residential units across the UK.

The lender, which provides secured development finance and mezzanine loans, was founded in 2013 by Ed Marley-Shaw (pictured above) and has aided the construction of over 600 homes to date. 

The company lends to experienced property developers and prides itself on its strong customer service proposition, combining a flexible approach with fast feedback.
