"We don’t just see clients as borrowers—we see them as partners, we’re focused on building lasting relationships by offering genuine flexibility."
- David Gross, director at Fast & Flexible Lending International

A new specialist lender, Fast & Flexible Lending International, has launched today as a provider of bespoke real estate finance solutions.

Backed by the Sydney & London Properties Group, Fast & Flexible Lending International offers a range of financing products, including bridging loans, development finance and second charge products.

The lender will offer bridging loans up to 75% LTV on loan sizes from £500,000 to £10,000,000, development finance up to 70% LTGDV with loan sizes from £500,000 to £10,000,000, and mezzanine loans up to £5,000,000 and a maximum 75% LTGDV.

Fast & Flexible Lending International says it will prioritise swift decision-making and a streamlined process, with just one level of credit approval and a committee that meets daily. The new lender will operate across England, Wales and Scotland and has offices in London and Cardiff. 

With its connections to the Sydney & London Properties Group, the team has been involved in over £1bn of real estate transactions. The group strategically exited many of its real estate assets before Covid, remaining liquid, and is now focused on lending both in the UK and on assets in other selected jurisdictions.

David Gross, director at Fast & Flexible Lending International, said: “We are pleased to be starting our journey with Fast & Flexible Lending International as a new vehicle with a compelling offering. We have learnt what works and what is required to do quality deals and believe we can offer what many in large establishments give their clients, but without the layers of credit committee and clumsy decision making. We don’t just see clients as borrowers—we see them as partners, we’re focused on building lasting relationships by offering genuine flexibility. Our team’s deep expertise enables us to make fast, informed decisions, delivering solutions tailored to each partner’s needs. We act quickly and decisively to ensure every deal works for both sides.

“We work with family offices and co-investors who value reliability and a partnership built on mutual success. With our commitment to transparency and excellence, we are the ideal partner for long-term investment.”
