Property-backed lenders

Whitehall Capital

A privately funded principal lending £100k to £20m of short-term property finance from 0.99 per cent a month, with credit-sanctioned terms in 24 hours and completion possible in a week.

What they do

Whitehall Capital lends from a Gibraltar-domiciled investor fund backed by high-net-worth individuals, family offices and hedge funds, wholly outside the banking system. Residential and commercial bridging, development and auction finance are priced from 0.99 per cent a month on terms of up to twelve months, with rates negotiated per deal. Credit-sanctioned terms are issued within a day, direct access to decision-makers including the chief executive is offered, and a completion inside 24 hours is on record.

Where they fit in a lower-mid-market raise

Where speed and certainty matter more than the last quarter of a per cent, a lender whose capital sits in a discretionary fund and whose credit decision is made by the person taking the call is about as fast as the market gets. Most of the book sits between £1m and £5m, with £6.5m and £7m facilities confirming capability at the top of a lower-mid-market requirement.

Where they are not the fit

Terms cap at twelve months, so this is short-dated money and the exit has to be certain. Lending is England and Wales and unregulated only. Pricing starts at 0.99 per cent a month, above the keenest bridging in the market, which is the cost of the speed.

Questions this page answers

How large a facility does Whitehall Capital write?

Published facilities reach £20m, and the bottom of the published range is small-ticket business rather than a corporate facility. A band is what a lender states it will do, not what it will do on a given credit.

How quickly does Whitehall Capital move?

Credit-sanctioned terms within 24 hours; ability to close within 1 week (5-10 business days stated); 24-hour completion cited in a June 2025 case. Published timetables describe a clean case; anything unusual in the security or the structure adds to them.

Where does Whitehall Capital lend?

England and Wales (product pages); about pages state whole of UK; use England & Wales as operative restriction.
