We backed an experienced developer with a £972k refurbishment facility on a promising commercial-to-resi scheme.

They plan to convert three vacant commercial floors into a 15-unit HMO, while retaining the ground-floor retail unit. Planning was already in place, and the borrower came with a breadth of experience, having delivered 36 schemes of a similar nature.

We delivered this deal at 58% LTV and 59% LTGDV over a 12-month term; six months for the conversion and six months to arrange the exit.

Shout-out to Sally O'Loughlin, Jack Bruce and Sophia Panteli for securing a great outcome for our client 👏

We had a great night co-hosting with Ringleys and YVA Solicitors.

It was brilliant to catch up with familiar faces and meet plenty of new ones.

So much of what we do relies on the professionals we work alongside every day. Evenings like this are a chance to spend some proper time with the people who help keep things moving.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to the teams at Ringleys and YVA for co-hosting with us 💜

Why are developers considering refurbishment over ground-up development?

That's one of the questions Richard Nordgreen tackled with Francesco Fasanella on the Habitat Investments Podcast. In case you missed it, here are some highlights.

Richard covers the shift in developer appetite and where AI can reduce friction in the application process, drawing on his perspective as both a lender and a developer.

Thank you to Francesco and the Habitat Investments team for having us.

UK Property Development Is Becoming Harder. Could AI Help Change That?

Richard Nordgreen sat down with Francesco Fasanella from the @
Habitat Investments Podcast to talk about what that looks like, drawing on what we see across live transactions and conversations with developers around the country. Having developed schemes himself, Richard was able to offer a perspective through the lens of both lender and developer.

They covered a lot of ground, including:

- Why more developers are considering refurbishment instead of ground-up
- Where HMOs and build-to-hold strategies may offer greater resilience
- How conditions and opportunities differ across London, the South and the North
- The potential of airspace development and new partnership structures
- Why experienced developers are having to think differently about viability, funding and exit strategies
- How AI use can reduce the friction points in the application process
- When AI is used at Lendhub and when the human touchpoint is valued over speed

In the current housing crisis, the development of viable schemes is more important than ever. At Lendhub, we work closely with borrowers in crafting funding solutions for good opportunities, even through the inevitable delays, hurdles and unexpected hiccups.

Our Ground-Up Development loans offer staged funding for new-build residential and semi-commercial schemes up to £10m. Speak to our team to learn more.

Transforming a commercial site into a 3-property mixed-use asset.

A developer came to us to refinance an existing loan and fund a mixed-use conversion in Poole. Backed by a guarantor with 96 completed developments, we provided a £893k heavy refurbishment facility at 69% LTV and 69% LTGDV, over 12 months.

This heavy refurbishment comprises four different components, requiring significant structural works to the property. These include:

- Alterations to the ground floor commercial unit
- Planning permission for the extension and conversion of the upper floors into a 7-bed HMO
- Planning for the construction of a 1-bed flat
- Change of use to the rear two-storey building from commercial to residential for a 2-bed house.

Alongside the planning permission required for a mixed-use conversion, the exit also required consideration. We stress-tested against semi-commercial mortgage guidelines to ensure viability.

Shoutout to Jack Bruce, Theo Goodman and Sophia Panteli for their work getting this loan across the line.

A look back on our Q2 and team social 🏌

Here are some highlights:

- Our inaugural Summer Cup was a hit! A competitive day out playing 5-a-side football, you can look back at our highlight videos and @
Ruby Power's interviews to hear more about the day ⚽️

- Lendhub took part in two charity events, Bellevue Mortlake's Noah's Ark Cup and Prideview's Charity Cricket Day. Both were great days supporting fantastic charities, and we were excited to fill our trophy cabinet with two new cups! 🏆🏆

- A record breaking quarter of impressions on our socials (shoutout to our marketing team)

- Our Origination and Credit teams worked hard getting deals to completion. One standout was converting a former government building in Preston city centre into 25 residential apartments, with £2.1m provided at 65% LTGDV. Read the details on our website.

- Naz Buckler hosted a wonderful group at Diptyque to learn about the history of perfumes

- The NACFB Expo was a great day, meeting over 200 brokers , and our quick calculator demo and rolled ice cream was a hit 🍦

- Richard Nordgreen and Francesco Prelorenzo hosted our first roundtable on the challenges developers are facing today

Celebrating the work we've achieved this quarter, both on an individual level and as a team, is what makes these days so valuable. ⛳️🏌️‍♀️

🏗️ Experience doesn't always look the way lenders expect it to.

Our borrower had spent over 20 years as an architect and construction consultant, delivering more than 50 projects across the UK. But they had never been the principal on their own refurbishment. For most lenders, that would be enough to say no.

We saw it differently. After meeting them on site, their technical knowledge and understanding of the scheme spoke for itself. We structured a £3.7m facility at 70% LTGDV to fund the acquisition and full conversion of two vacant office units in Brentford into 15 residential flats.

Shoutout to Jack Bruce, Caimin Bugler and Ben Miller for their work on this deal.

Lendhub Summer Cup ⚽ ☀️🏆

Yesterday was our inaugural Lendhub Summer Cup, where we brought together valued clients and partners for a day of 5-aside football at Powerleague Shoreditch.

From kick-off to the final whistle, the day was full of laughter, healthy competition and a great atmosphere (up until the second half of the England game 😢). We loved seeing relationships strengthened and new connections formed.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Bringing it home ⚽🏆

We're thrilled to have taken part in the Noah's Ark Cup 2026, a charity football tournament organised by Bellevue Mortlakes Chartered Surveyors & LPA Receivers in support of Noah's Ark Children's Hospice.

Noah's Ark provides vital care and support to babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, helping families make the most of every moment together. If you're able to, please consider supporting their work. Every donation makes a difference.
