Downing LLP surpasses £500m in specialist lending commitments



Downing LLP’s specialist lending team has passed £500m for commitments with approximately £200m achieved in less than a year.


The investment manager provides wholesale finance to bridging lenders, as well as facilities of up to 90% LTC and 70% LTGDV to UK developers — with a focus on SMEs — for nationwide residential-led schemes, commercial developments, and specialist sub-sectors such as student accommodation.

Parik Chandra, partner and head of specialist lending at Downing LLP, said: “We continue to see strong growth in our property lending team, but this has been achieved with a tight focus on risk management and high-quality origination.

“Despite a challenging macro environment, many attractive lending opportunities remain in the property development market, and we will continue to support SME developers.”
