The facility marks an important step forward for Momenta, strengthening the capital available to support property investors, developers and businesses across the UK while providing additional flexibility to expand our lending activity and fund more opportunities across the property market.
More capacity to finance property opportunities
The new facility strengthens our ability to support property investors and developers across the UK, providing additional capacity for a range of funding requirements including; property acquisitions, refurbishment projects, development finance, bridging and development exit funding.
For our broker partners, this means additional capital to support viable property backed opportunities and greater flexibility when structuring finance around the needs of their clients.
As we continue to grow our real estate lending business, access to institutional funding is an important part of our ability to support projects at different stages of the property lifecycle, from acquisition and development through to refinancing and exit.
Steven Oliver, Head of Real Estate at Momenta Finance, said:
“The property market continues to present a wide range of opportunities, and we want to be in a position to support our broker partners and their clients when those opportunities arise.
“Our approach is centred on understanding the wider picture behind each transaction – the experience of the borrower, the fundamentals of the project and what is needed to move it forward. That understanding is key to building strong relationships and finding practical funding solutions.
“This latest development in our funding platform supports our long-term ambitions for our real estate lending business and our commitment to being a dependable partner for brokers and property professionals.”
The new Secure Trust Bank facility is the latest addition to Momenta’s growing network of institutional funding relationships.
Over recent years, we have continued to strengthen and diversify our funding platform through significant facilities with leading banking and institutional partners, which have cumulatively raised over £400m since 2023.
The new Secure Trust Bank facility adds further depth to our funding platform, giving us additional capacity and flexibility as we continue to grow our lending activity.
Together, these relationships support our ambition to build a scalable, diversified funding platform that enables us to continue backing businesses, property investors and developers across the UK.
Jake Trehaeven, Capital Markets Director at Momenta Finance, said:
“This new facility with Secure Trust Bank is another important step in strengthening our funding platform and will give us additional capacity and flexibility as we continue to grow.
“We have built strong relationships with a range of institutional funding partners, and this facility further validates and strengthens our platform. It gives us the capacity to continue deploying capital into the market and supporting our broker partners and their clients as opportunities develop across our real estate and wider SME lending offerings.”
Supporting property investors and developers
At Momenta, we understand that property projects often require funding that goes beyond a standard lending solution. Whether a borrower is acquiring a property, undertaking refurbishment, progressing a development or seeking a development exit facility, access to the right finance at the right time can be critical.
Our property finance proposition supports a range of funding requirements, including acquisitions, development, refurbishment, bridging and refinancing.
Recent transactions demonstrate the breadth of opportunities we support, from a £3.35 million development facility for the conversion of a vacant Bradford mill into 60 apartments, to development exit and residential conversion facilities across the UK.
For our broker partners, our approach combines institutional funding capacity with the flexibility and responsiveness of a specialist lender. We remain focused on understanding the deal, the borrower and the underlying opportunity to help deliver funding solutions that work for the project.
