Blackfinch Property has completed a £4.9m development loan to support the delivery of 15 new family homes in Inchinnan, on the outskirts of Glasgow.

The scheme will regenerate a derelict brownfield site into a new residential community, delivering a mix of three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, each with open field views to the rear. Early reservations have already been secured highlighting the strength of local demand and the project’s viability.

Blackfinch Property is particularly pleased to support this scheme given its strong Scottish element, as it aligns with the team’s commitment to backing high-quality developments in regional markets.

Nicola Mayes, Senior Investment Manager at Blackfinch Property, commented: “We are delighted to support this transaction, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to development across Scotland… and to support the delivery of much-needed, high-quality homes for the local community.”

Here's last week's economic and market highlights:

🌍 Global:

Escalating conflict in the Middle East has triggered a sharp rise in , renewing concerns that higher energy costs could complicate the global disinflation story. Crude oil prices surged above $100 per barrel as supply disruptions and reduced tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz – a route responsible for roughly 20% of global oil supply – heightened fears of prolonged energy market volatility.

🌍 UK:

UK investors assessed the potential inflationary effects of rising energy prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East, with sterling falling to its lowest level since early December. The Office for Budget Responsibility warned that prolonged geopolitical tensions could have “very significant impacts” on the UK economy, particularly through higher energy costs.

Great to be at the 2026 VIP Conference yesterday supporting Vision Independent Financial Planning Ltd.

It was fantastic for the team to meet and network with so many advisers who are focused on delivering better outcomes for their high-net-worth clients.

A highlight of the day was Tim Wynn-Jones’ main stage session, “Beyond Tax Wrappers: How IFAs Can Unlock Broader Value with Blackfinch,” where he explored how advisers can think beyond traditional structures to deliver broader value.

Thanks also to everyone who stopped by the Blackfinch stand to test their reflexes in our ‘Strike-A-Light’ challenge - and congratulations to those who made the leader board!
