Specialist lender West One Loans has completed one of its largest loans, after providing a £20m first charge bridging facility against a high value site in a prime London location.

West One Loans, a specialist bridging loan, second charge and development finance lender, has teamed up with ME Developments – an experienced Farnham based venture capital group with expertise in property development – for a £5.5m development finance facility.

West One Loans has today announced a series of changes to their range of Second Charge mortgage products, including the launch of their lowest ever variable and fixed rate products - with rates starting from 3.79% and an expanded range of ERC free products.

We have completed our 1000th second charge loan since its launch through master brokers in July 2017. In this time, the market for second charge loans has grown steadily, with annualised figures from the FLA showing it has become a £1bn market.
