Real estate lender Fast and Flexible Lending International has entered the market with a range of products including bridging loans, development finance and second charge mortgages.
Fast and Flexible Lending International is backed by Sydney and London Properties Group and will focus on delivering tailored solutions and quick decision-making.
The lender will enable this by having one level of credit approval and a committee that will meet on a daily basis. It said this would avoid the “layers of bureaucracy” typically seen in lending.
Fast and Flexible Lending International will operate across England, Wales and Scotland and has offices in London and Cardiff.
Through its work with the Sydney and London Properties Group, the team behind Fast and Flexible Lending International has been involved in more than £1bn of real estate transactions.
It strategically exited many of its real estate assets before the Covid-19 pandemic and maintained capital. Now, it will focus on lending in the UK as well as other assets in selected jurisdictions.
