Specialist Finance
Covering anything from bridging loans and self-build projects, to commercial and development finance, specialist lending requires particular knowledge, insights and experience. It’s evolving rapidly with new lenders and products entering the market all the time. Our team at Knight Frank Finance have the experience, knowledge and lender network to guide you, whatever your financial requirements.
Bridging Loans
Short-term finance from 1 day to 24 months in an increasingly competitive market. Ideal for those buying at auction, those who find their ideal purchase before their property is sold or whose buying chain falls apart. Also often used by developers moving between commercial finance stages or for when other finance simply doesn’t come through. Lenders will need you to have thought carefully about your exit strategy and our expert advisers can help you arrange every facet of a bridging loan. Read more
Commercial Lending
Securing commercial finance is more challenging than financing a home, it’s a business relationship needing far greater degrees of negotiation. Knight Frank Finance can manage this for small businesses borrowing tens of thousands from bespoke commercial lenders to expand premises, through to commercial property companies negotiating hundred-million lending facilities from institutional sized funds.

Development Finance
Securing the right financing on the right terms is very often the difference between success and failure for a development project. No developer wants to worry about access to funds when unexpected costs arise. The specialist development finance team at Knight Frank Finance source financing for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments. We have detailed knowledge of this market and extensive contacts within it. We’re able to source products that are tailor-made for the needs of each project. Read more
Overseas Property Finance
You’ve found your dream property abroad and now need the financing to complete the purchase. Whether a holiday home or investment property, securing an overseas mortgage in a foreign country can be complicated, particularly if you don’t speak the language or are not familiar with administrative or bureaucratic processes in the country you are buying property in.

Luxury Asset & Lombard Finance
Fine wine, art, jewellery or classic cars? Assets under management, investment or share portfolio? You can retain ownership but leverage them to often release funds quickly - an ideal solution for unexpected tax bills, business opportunities or to provide that final amount to afford your dream home. It’s a small sector and the amounts or terms available depend on specialist valuations and who holds custody of your asset. The good news, it’s a flexible type of finance we can explore with you.

Self-Build Mortgages
Self-build finance differs from a ‘regular’ mortgage because funds are released by your lender in stages as the build progresses. Speak to our self-build finance experts at the early stages of your project planning so that we can identify the very best terms and rates on offer through our network of private and high street lenders.
