London – Alantra has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Assetz Capital, a leading UK provider of SME residential development finance, on securing a £150mn funding facility from Cambridge & Counties Bank. This partnership marks the bank’s first large-scale institutional commitment of this kind and significantly expands Assetz Capital’s capacity to deploy development finance across the UK.

The facility will support Assetz Capital’s mission to address the UK housing shortage by backing SME housebuilders at a time when access to development funding remains a major constraint in the market.

Adrian Hobcroft, Director at Alantra, commented: “This transaction represents a critical step forward for Assetz Capital in strengthening its funding platform. It also highlights the vital role institutional capital plays in unlocking supply from SME developers, who are essential to the UK’s housing pipeline.”

This transaction underscores Alantra’s deep expertise in structured finance and its strong track record supporting specialist lenders in accessing long-term institutional capital. It further reinforces the firm’s commitment to facilitating innovative funding solutions that enable growth and resilience across the UK financial ecosystem.
